Non Destructive Testing (NDT) Knowledge Base

Non Destructive Testing (NDT) Knowledge Base is a one stop shop for all that is NDT. Nondestructive testing or Non-destructive testing (NDT) uses many techniques to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing damage. The terms Nondestructive examination (NDE), Nondestructive inspection (NDI), and Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) are also used to describe this field of study. Because NDT does not adversely effect the item being examined, it is a valuable tool used to save both time and money in the evaluation, troubleshooting, and research of a components integrity. Although there are many NDT methods, the most common include ultrasonic, magnetic-particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic, remote visual inspection (RVI), eddy-current testing. NDT is used in many industries such as Aerospace, Aviation, Auto and Boat Racing, Construction, Manufacturing, Oil and Gas Development, Amusements Parks, Railroad and Alternative Energy: Nuclear, Wind, Solar.
