A Brief History of the Equipment used in Non Destructive Testing

As we have written on this blog before, the history of non destructive testing goes back quite some time. Civilizations such as the ancient Greeks and Chinese used relatively unsophisticated methods of testing the integrity of certain items without damaging them. But...

Non-Destructive Testing: Safety Considerations

Nondestructive testing is an essential component of aircraft inspection and repair. However, simply because this method of inspection does not damage aircraft parts and systems, does not mean that technicians and mechanics should be careless when using advanced...

Nondestructive Testing: Methods and Definition

NDT – an analysis technique used by industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component, structure or system without causing damage – is a more comprehensive field than many non-technician can imagine. Indeed, there are several different methods...

Ultrasonic Testing of Bolts and Pin

One of the most important parts of any machine is its bolts and pins. They are essentially the glue that binds certain parts together. If they lack integrity, then that creates a problem for the part and the system as a whole. Therefore mechanics and engineers must...

Leak Testing: What it is and How it is Used

The ability to detect leaks in certain materials is essential for ensuring the quality and safety of those materials. To accomplish this, leak testing is used to find leaks using one of these four main techniques: Bubble, Pressure Decay, Halogen Diode and Mass...
