What Is Nondestructive Testing?

Nondestructive testing (NDT), also known as nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and nondestructive inspection (NDI) blends quality assurance and materials science.

NDT is used to inspect and evaluate materials, components, or assemblies without destroying their serviceability.

Through a set of test methods, skilled technicians identify cracks, voids, inclusions, and weld discontinuities, as well as identify misassembled subcomponents.

Industries that Rely on NDT

• Aerospace/Aviation/Aeronautics
• Power Generation (nuclear, wind, electric)
• Oil and Gas/Petrochemical
• Chemical
• Infrastructure (bridges, highways, buildings)
• Transportation (Automotive, Railroad)
• Maritime/Marine/Underwater
• Construction
• Manufacturing
• Research
