5 Benefits of Non Destructive Testing

Non-destructive testing – or testing that doesn’t damage the tested product – as been around in one form or another since 1895, when German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen first invented the X-ray. And just as X-ray technology has been proven to yield...

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...

Cleaning with Sound: More than Science Fiction

If you’re a fan of the popular sci-fi series Star Trek, you will sometimes hear its character refer to sonic showers as the way the crew stays clean in space. And while no great detail is ever given as to how sound would be used to clean the human body, sound is...

Types of Ultrasonic Testing

The aerospace industry uses a wide variety of testing methods to ensure the safety of all aircraft systems and parts. The most effective of which is Ultrasonic Testing (UT) which utilizes a series of high-frequency ultrasonic waves to identify flaws in materials. This...
