#ndt YXLON rejoices over the commissioning of their 600th MU2000-D X-ray inspection system. After its market launch in 1997, the universal radiographic system is still one of the most successful inspection systems worldwide thanks to its flexibility and robustness. Due to continuous developments it has remained state-of-the-art for 20 years now. This fact also convinced the [...]
#ndt Backlash stemming from the announcement in early July by the British Institute of Nondestructive Testing that some certifications were being revoked has spilled onto the message boards on NDT.net. The controversy began when BINDT discovered irregularities concerning NDT International PTE Ltd. The following excerpt is from the BINDT FAQ on the matter (http://www.bindt.org/Certification/pcn-news): "The reason [...]
#ndt Some of Europe’s leading experts will be speaking about the challenges faced in the inspection, testing and monitoring of wind turbines at the NDT 2017 conference in Telford, West Midlands, UK, from 5-7 September. The annual conference of the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) will feature a full day of talks on wind turbine [...]
#ndt In the past, thin wall piping was almost exclusively inspected with radiography. Portable ultrasonic equipment were not capable of providing recorded data and were limited by thickness. Currently and with Phased Array technology, it is entirely possible to provide audible results and inspect lower thicknesses than before. Since RT has inherent limitations such as safety [...]
