Non-destructive testing (NDT) technology provides services for remaining life assessment of industrial equipment and engineering structures. This technology has been applied in power generation, ...

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is critical in ensuring safety and reliability, areas easily compromised if not monitored with a broad range of necessary tools and techniques. Locating concealed ...

It’s commonly known that products need to be tested before they’re available for use. Across all industries, different mechanical components and materials need to undergo rigorous testing to ensure ...

A new IAEA research project will investigate how artificial intelligence can be used to strengthen non-destructive testing techniques used in disaster response. The project aims to enable faster, ...

Everything has a quality control process to ensure its safety and integrity. Everyday items and large infrastructure are continually subjected to wear and tear, causing damage and erosion, while the ...

Well-established regulations have been used worldwide to certify the mechanical characteristics of advanced materials like polymer nanocomposites across different industries. To establish a ...

Many industrial buildings rely on ultrasound instruments that continually monitor the structural integrity of their systems without damaging or altering their features. One new technique draws on ...

Like an X-ray is used to see inside the human body, non-destructive testing (NDT) can be a powerful and effective means of understanding a bridge’s structural integrity without damaging the ...

Xarion’s laser-excited acoustics (LEA) is a couplant-free nondestructive testing (NDT) method that uses laser principles and an optical microphone without a membrane. In a single-sided “pitch-catch” ...

At-a-Glance: Conduct offshore pipeline NDT by combining in-line inspection (ILI: MFL/UT/EMAT, geometry/IMU) with external ROV/diver campaigns (visual, CP, UT/PAUT, eddy-current) under a risk-based ...

At-a-Glance — Practical, end-to-end workflow to plan and execute subsea pipeline NDT using ROV/diver external methods and internal ILI, with clear KPIs, target ranges, checklists, formulas, and ...
