Using NDT in the Field

Nondestructive testing is used in a wide range of industries to safely inspect and evaluate assets, each requiring a specific method of testing. These testing disciplines are all based on a specific scientific principle that allows inspectors to work without damaging the systems, materials, or components involved. The testing disciplines currently used in nondestructive testing include:

• Liquid Penetrant Testing
• Ultrasonic Testing
• Magnetic Particle Testing
• Visual Inspection
• Radiographic Testing
• Infrared/Thermal Testing
• Leak Testing
• Guided Wave Testing
• Magnetic Flux Leakage
• Acoustic Emission Testing
• Electromagnetic Testing
• Vibration Analysis
• Laser Testing Methods
• Neutron Radiographic Testing

The methods most often used include Liquid Penetrant Testing, Ultrasonic Testing, Magnetic Particle Testing, and Visual Inspection. Since these disciplines are required throughout a variety of industries, especially in the Gulf Coast, we have made them the focus of our NDT training courses. This gives our trainees a competitive edge in the field and a solid foundation for their continued career in NDT testing.
