Liquid penetrant testing is known for being relatively easy to perform, but it does requires skilled technicians to perform and interpret results accurately and consistently.
Liquid penetrant testing (LPT) is a versatile, portable, simple, and sensitive method for detecting surface defects. It can be used on a wide range of materials and is excellent at finding surface discontinuities such as defects, porosity, lack of fusion, or surface-breaking cracks.
Laser-based NDT methods continue to be refined and improved, with recent significant advancements in the measurement of difficult-to-inspect shiny surfaces, underwater and radiation environments.
The aerospace industry is one example of where the marrying of automation and metrology is being adopted to elevate product quality and operational excellence.
The aerospace industry uses automation and metrology to improve product quality and safety. Components require precise measurements for high quality and efficient production.
Amusement parks offer thrilling experiences, but safety is crucial. Nondestructive testing (NDT) plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of rides through meticulous inspection without causing damage.
The aerospace industry constantly seeks new technologies for a competitive edge and enhanced capability. AI and maching learning in additive manufacturing offer significant value for meeting industry needs.
NDT and RVI offer non-damaging, cost-effective surface inspections with advanced imaging. Enhanced tools like video borescopes and PTZ cameras improve critical inspection capabilities for industries like aerospace and power generation. Smaller, sophisticated camera sensors enable comprehensive inspections across industries.
AS9100 is a quality management system standard tailored for the aviation, space, and defense industries. It addresses the unique challenges of aerospace operations and was created to improve quality and reduce costs in the industry by the International Aerospace Quality Group.
