Critical NDT Applications
Nondestructive testing, commonly referred to as NDT, was first developed in the late 1800s. In the years since, a variety of technologies have been developed, including Eddy Current Testing (ECT) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT), which will be our focus. These two methods often complement one another when used together.
Exploring NDT options for energy-related tube, pipe products, Authored by Joseph Baldauff, VP Technology
As the oil and gas industry has changed over the years, the quality standards for tube and pipe have gained in importance. Drilling is taking place in more remote locations, often many miles offshore; horizontal drilling capability allows drilling at ever-greater distances; and to find new sources, drilling is going deeper than ever before.
Velocity Measurement for Determining Ductility and Nodularity in Cast Iron, Authored by Zhongqing You, PhD, VP Eng.
Traditional Ultrasonic Testing • Sound travels into the part, reflecting from a defect – “Flaw Detection” • Reflector size is also determined by signal amplitude – “Flaw Sizing” • Sound travels into the part and returns after a measurable length of time – “Thickness Gaging”
