Dryscan or Shadow Technique

With the Dryscan technique, highly effective signal transmission can be achieved by using a completely dry contact system.

Dryscan or Shadow Technique

The Dryscan or Shadow Technique is a proven method for the non-destructive testing (NDT) of high-tech materials used in many industries including space and aviation.

It is especially useful for composite, honeycomb and hybrid structures, which cannot be examined successfully by conventional NDT methods. This technique can be used in the through transmission mode i.e. with the signal passing directly through the test material from the transmitter to the receiver, and also in echo mode when working with the transmitter and receiver transducers on the same side of the specimen.
