Why test for top-load strength? Packaging for consumable goods has several purposes. Not only must it have an optimal design and attractive looks to grab the attention of a prospective purchaser, but it must also provide ample protection for the product inside.
Nondestructive testing of large components can be time consuming and requires several people to work quickly to minimize the impact of testing on the large component manufacturing process.
A comprehensive material verification program includes testing weld wire, round bar, small bore pipe and bolting. Handheld libs analyzers can optimize access to such parts, providing a comprehensive, on-site solution for QA programs.
The owner/operators of equipment such as vessels, furnaces, boilers, exchangers, tanks, and associated piping and instruments rely on an integrity management program designed to assess the reliability and protect the integrity of the equipment for safe and efficient operation.
In October 2021 ASTM E1417 was published, replacing the 2016 revision. This revision was completed as part of a standard review cycle, and to address changes in the industry.
Avonix Imaging announced it will be hosting A-TEC 2022 on September 20 and 21, at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest Elm Creek Amphitheater in Minnesota.
Nondestructive testing methods range from simple manual and visual techniques to sophisticated eddy current and ultrasound technologies that can be used for spot-checks or incorporated right into the production line.
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry is a useful technology to measure the thickness of metal layers. Handheld XRF is an indispensable tool in quality assurance.
As international quality standards become increasingly demanding, you need to be confident in your QC analysis results – whether you are using an XRF, LIBS or OES analyzer. Without an accurate error margin, you simply cannot be sure that your parts meet specifications.
The global contribution of the automotive industry to the world economy is approximately $3.4 trillion (2021 – Mc Kinsey). Yet very little is communicated about the nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques used for industrial inspection to meet those often mutually opposed pressures of productivity and quality.
