Understanding the Ultrasonic Equipment Calibration Procedure
There’s a saying about non-destructive testing: if the flaws were large, you wouldn’t need equipment to see it. Ultrasonic testing can find the smallest cracks and the tiniest incongruities, over unusual angles, or vast, flat surfaces. It is an exacting procedure on which so much of an operation rides. As such, ultrasonic testing equipment needs to work flawlessly every time. It ...

The Use of NDT for Surface Defects
Nondestructive testing (NDT) for surface defects requires solutions that can effectively probe complex surfaces that are rough or include tight corners. Therefore, technicians need a surface-oriented approach—such as eddy current array (ECA)—that can easily overcome the challenges of unconventional contours. However, ECA technology alone is not enough to get the job done. ...

Streamlining Aircraft NDT with Automated Test Equipment for Aerospace
Nondestructive testing (NDT) has long been a critical component of ensuring aircraft safety. The more accurate and efficient their equipment, the more confident inspectors can be in the data they gather and the recommendations they make based on that data. In order to achieve the highest quality of data and speediest inspection times, analysts need instruments with enough range to cover a wide ...

Using Eddy Current for Bolt Hole Inspections
The phrase “nuts and bolts” refers to the most basic details of a subject. It is an ironic turn of phrase because nuts, bolts, and bolt holes require significant engineering to determine specifications and nondestructive testing (NDT) to ensure that they meet those specifications. Multilayer bolt hole inspections in aerospace are one of the more challenging NDT inspections as it is ...

Factory Conveyor Inspection
A plywood manufacturer needed to inspect the roller bearings for its main conveyor motors. This inspection required a shutdown of the entire production line, and every minute of downtime would cost money. Additionally, because the motors were located in hard to reach areas, some several meters high, a portable and lightweight instrument would be needed. The VJ-ADV video borescope from RF System ...

Eddy Current Testing vs. Magnetic Particle Testing: Why ECT May have an Advantage over MPT
Eddy current testing (ECT) vs. magnetic particle testing (MPT) is an apt comparison because these are two prominent nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques. While each technique has its advantages and disadvantages, the eddy current testing method retains the edge. MPT is a comprehensive solution in its own right, but it doesn’t have the same cutting-edge capabilities as its eddy current ...
