Non Destructive Testing

Visual Testing (VT)

  • This visual inspection is one of the most common techniques which involves the operator looking at the test piece. This can be aided by the use of optical instruments such as magnifying glasses or computer-assisted systems (known as “Remote Viewing”).
  • This method allows for the detection of corrosion, misalignment, damage, cracks, and more.
  • Visual testing is inherent in most other types of NDT as they will generally require an operator to look for defects

Non Destructive Testing

Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)

  • This testing involves the application of a fluid with low viscosity to the material to be tested.
  • This fluid seeps into any defects such as cracks or porosity before a developer is applied which allows the penetrant liquid to seep upwards and create a visible indication of the flaw.
  • Liquid penetrant tests can be conducted using solvent removable penetrants, water washable penetrants or post-emulsifiable penetrants.

Non Destructive Testing

Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)

  • This NDT process uses magnetic fields to find discontinuities at or near the surface of ferromagnetic materials.
  • The magnetic field can be created with a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, which requires a current to be applied.
  • The magnetic field will highlight any discontinuities as the magnetic flux lines produce leakage, which can be seen by using magnetic particles that are drawn into the discontinuity.

Non Destructive Testing

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

  • Ultrasonic Testing entails the transmission of high frequency sound into a material to interact with features within the material that reflect or attenuate it.
  • This test is broadly divided into Pulse Echo (PE), Through Transmission (TT) and Time of Flight Diffraction (ToFD).

Non Destructive Testing

Radiography (RT)

  • Radiographic testing uses radiation passed through a test piece to detect defects.
  • X-rays are commonly used for thin or less dense materials while gamma rays are used for thicker or denser items.
  • The results can be processed using film radiography, computed radiography, computed tomography or digital radiography.
  • Whichever method is used, the radiation will show discontinuities in the material due to the strength of the radiation.
