What is Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) Testing Method in NDT ? Time of flight diffraction is a reliable non destructive testing method mainly used to find flaws in the welds. Like all other ultrasonic testing methods, TOFD uses ultrasonic pulse to locate the irregularities. What makes...
What is Neutron Radiography Testing Neutron radiography technology is also called Neutron Imaging, Neutron Tomography or else N-Ray Radiography. This is a powerful NDT method because of the neutron’s properties. It allows imaging of materials which are hydrogenous like oil, plastic, water, rubber, explosives etc, which...
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technique in NDT is used to diagnose and evaluate the quality of reinforced concrete. Due to the complicated properties of reinforced concrete, usual non destructive testing methods like ultrasonic testing and infrared ray testing cannot be used in the most testing site...
Regular monitoring and maintenance of industrial machines and equipment can save money and time lost due to catastrophic failures. Machine failures do not happen overnight, there will be clear indications in machines when their deterioration starts and affects the normal working conditions. If these indications are...
Guided wave testing is an advanced NDT technology used to remotely analyze assets for flaws and corrosion over a long distance. Direct contact with the assets is not necessary to conduct guided wave testing. Why Guided Wave Testing? Piping systems often have very unorthodox shapes and locations which makes...
API 571 – Damage Mechanism is a recognized certification for inspectors, developed and published by American Petroleum Institute (API). API 571 gives and in-depth understanding of over 60 different damage mechanisms that can occur to process equipment in refineries. Damage mechanism review is a process that...
The API 936 Refractory inspection certification is an industry recognized certification for inspectors who are trained in refractory systems. Certified refractory inspectors have a good knowledge of inspection, installation, testing and repair of refractory linings. Why do you need an API certification? American Petroleum Institute (API) is...
What is Risk Based Inspection? Risk Based Inspection certification from American Petroleum Institute (API) for highly specialised inspectors, engineers, and other professionals in the petrochemical industry as a validation of their immense knowledge in risk based inspection methods. Professionals who hold a current API 510, API 570 or API 653 certification automatically qualify...
What is Visual Testing ? Visual testing is also called visual inspection which is one among the oldest and widely used ndt techniques. In this type of testing, the sample is visualised by a trained inspector identifying the flaws directly by using his naked eye or...
What is Ultrasonic Testing in NDT ? Ultrasonic testing also referred to as UT, is a type of non destructive testing. It is a volumetric ndt testing method which involves both surface inspection as well as inspection of flaws inside the sample. It identifies the internal...
