Drones are increasingly being used in Nondestructive Testing (NDT) because they offer a lot of benefits, especially for inspecting large or hard-to-reach structures and confined spaces. Access to Difficult Areas: Imagine trying to inspect a tall bridge or a big wind...

NDE: Probability of Detection

Probability of detection (POD) evaluation is a commonly used method of quantifying the reliability of an inspection.  Inspections in practice have multiple factors which affect the detectability of flaws (e.g. human factors, uncertainty in the geometry of the...

Training and Certification NDE Engineers

Unlike some other engineering disciplines, there are no formally established requirements for education, training, certification for NDE engineers. Most NDE engineers were formally educated in other disciplines and then stumbled into the NDE field during their careers...
