Nondestructive Testing (NDT) is a group of analysis techniques used to evaluate the properties of materials, components, or systems without causing damage or permanently altering the inspection target. By utilizing methods such as X-ray radiography and ultrasonic testing, engineers can detect internal flaws and characterize materials while maintaining the integrity of the object.
X-ray Inspection Systems utilize an X-ray tube as a radiation source. During inspection, X-rays penetrate the target object, and the transmitted radiation is captured by a detector, such as a Flat Panel Detector (FPD). The resulting images allow for the non-invasive identification of internal defects, corrosion, and other structural inconsistencies.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) employs an ultrasonic transducer equipped with a piezoelectric element. When a high-frequency electrical signal is applied, the element vibrates to generate ultrasonic waves. These waves propagate through the object, and the reflected waves (echoes) are analyzed to locate internal flaws or measure thickness.
