Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), also known as Dye Penetrant Inspection (DPI) or Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI), is a widely used nondestructive testing (NDT) method. It is used to detect surface-breaking defects in non-porous materials, such as metals, plastics, or ceramics. This method is...
Laser Profilometry (LAS)
Laser Profilometry (LAS) is a technique used to measure the surface profile or shape of an object with high precision. Let's break down the key points to understand it better: Imagine you have a surface, like a piece of metal, and you want to know every tiny bump and groove on it. Laser...
Hardness Testing
Hardness testing is a method used to determine the hardness of a material, which is a measure of its resistance to deformation, scratching, or indentation. This property is crucial in understanding how a material will behave under various conditions, such as pressure, impact, and wear. What is...
