Non-Destructive Testing
Non-destructive Testing (NDT) is a branch of engineering that plays a key role in Safety, Quality and reliability of structures and components across industry.
NDT encompasses a wide range of techniques for examining items to detect defects caused by manufacture or wear without damaging the test item.
NDT Inspection Methods
NDT covers many inspection methods that allow the inspector to gain different information for different situations.
Surface inspection methods include visual testing, Dye-penetrant Testing, Magnetic Particle Testing, Eddy current testing, and more.
Volumetric inspection requires the use of radiography or Ultrasonic (UT) methods such as conventional UT, Phased Array (PA), Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD), Full Matrix Capture (FMC), Total Focusing Method (TFM) and many more.
Sonatest designs, builds, and manufactures ultrasonic NDT equipment and has been a world leader in the industry for over 65 years.
Professional Engineering Field
NDT is a highly regulated area of engineering. International and regional standards control how inspections are carried out, how indications are evaluated, and how inspectors are trained.
Engineers are highly trained professionals who have undergone years of training and examinations to conduct inspections to high standards.
