Some of the major factors responsible for the growth of non-destructive testing and inspection across the globe are the increasing adoption of IoT devices, the growing need to assess aging assets' health, stringent government regulations regarding public safety and product quality, and continuous advances in electronics, automation, and robotics.
The global non-destructive testing (NDT) and inspection market refers to the market for techniques and equipment used to inspect and evaluate the properties of materials, components, and structures without causing damage or altering their integrity. NDT and inspection methods are widely used across industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, aerospace, automotive, construction, and power generation.
Key Techniques in NDT and Inspection:
Ultrasonic Testing (UT): This technique uses high-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws, measure thickness, and evaluate material properties. It is commonly used in weld inspection, corrosion assessment, and flaw detection.
Radiographic Testing (RT): RT involves the use of X-rays or gamma rays to examine the internal structure of materials. It is useful for detecting defects like cracks, voids, and inclusions.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT): MT utilizes the magnetic properties of materials to detect surface and near-surface defects. It involves magnetizing the test object and applying iron particles to reveal flaws.
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT): PT involves applying a liquid dye or fluorescent solution to the surface of a material. The dye penetrates into surface-breaking defects, and excess dye is removed to reveal the flaw.
Visual Testing (VT): VT is the simplest form of inspection, involving direct visual examination of the test object. It can detect surface defects, irregularities, and signs of degradation.
Eddy Current Testing (ECT): ECT uses electromagnetic induction to detect and characterize surface and subsurface defects. It is commonly used for crack detection, conductivity measurement, and sorting of materials.
