#ndt This year saw the fourth NDT requirements workshop run by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT). The Workshop on NDT Requirements for Marine Composites took place on 27 February 2018 at St Mary’s Stadium, Southampton, UK. Whilst a significant amount of non-destructive testing (NDT) is already performed on marine composites, the sector needs further [...]
#ndt Abstract: High-frequency analog RF ultrasonic signals, typically in the 1 – 10 Mhz range, are transmitted over coaxial cables. In order to maintain signal amplitude, quality and fidelity, the cables should be as short as possible – generally less than 150’ (45.7 m). For applications where very long distances are required, it becomes necessary to [...]
