What is

Non-Destructive Testing?

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a crucial evaluation method used in manufacturing and engineering to assess the integrity and quality of materials, components, or systems without causing any unnecessary damage.

By utilising advanced techniques such as ultrasonic testing, radiography, and our very own nonlinear resonance, NDT enables manufacturers to detect defects, ensure product reliability, and maintain safety standards, especially within high-stakes industries. NDT is widely employed across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and medical, where the ability to verify the integrity of parts without compromising their functionality is paramount.

Detect Signs of Weakness

NDT allows engineers to detect early signs of weakness or potential failure in material structures and components. This crucial pre-emptive approach ensures that flaw initiation features such as micro-cracks, voids or porosity, are identified before they lead to costly or catastrophic failures, enhancing overall safety and performance.

Test Without Destruction

One of the key advantages of non-destructive testing is its ability to test parts without causing any damage. Unlike destructive testing methods such as tensile stress testing, NDT preserves the integrity of the component, making it possible to inspect critical parts repeatedly throughout their lifecycle without compromising their usability. This also results in less material waste.

Predict Part Operation

NDT not only identifies existing defects but also provides valuable insights into how a part may perform under operational conditions. By analysing the data gathered during testing, manufacturers can predict the lifespan and operational reliability of components, enabling more informed maintenance and production decisions.
