#ndt Using penetrant testing to inspect stainless steel pipes for stress corrosion cracking and welds for cracks can be a slow job. Many pipes are rough, dirty, or painted. Before penetrant testing can be used, the pipes must be smoothed and cleaned. If they’re painted, it must be painstakingly stripped off and the pipe later repainted. [...]

#ndt Condition monitoring and cloud-based data acquisition platforms are set to revolutionise the way railway operators address their asset management obligations. Gothenburg, Sweden - SKF and Siemens have signed a partnership agreement that will focus on improving train operators’ asset management efficiencies. The partnership will see the implementation of SKF’s Insight Rail condition based maintenance solution [...]
#ndt In contrast to conventional inductive sensors, displacement sensors based on eddy currents stand out due to their high accuracy, bandwidth and temperature stability. Furthermore, this measuring principle enables measurements on ferro- or non-ferromagnetic objects. The sensors are also resistant to harsh industrial environments including dirt, oil, pressure and fluctuating temperatures. The eddyNCDT 3060 is a [...]
#ndt An EU-funded project is offering an advanced monitoring system that accurately gauges the safe lifetime of aircraft engine parts where they operate. Intelligent solutions that help optimise aircraft maintenance contribute to make aviation safer and more environmentally friendly. New in situ monitoring system reduces the risk of engine failure © Abel Mendes Researchers involved in [...]
#ndt The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has awarded an S$18.8 million contract to a Siemens Pte Ltd and ST Engineering Electronics Limited consortium to develop and implement a Rail Enterprise Asset Management System (REAMS).
