#ndt India’s ambitious plans for a drones policy built on a so-called digital sky framework has hit a roadblock over clearances from the ministry of home affairs and various defence establishments. This will further delay regulations that are already behind schedule and may even end up amending some of the proposed rules. "The CAR is not [...]
#ndt The Total Alwyn drilling platform in the North Sea will be the first testing site for a autonomous ground robot inspection device. The 18-month project to develop the robot for it's first trial at Alwyn and onshore at Total’s Shetland Gas Plant, which receives production from the Laggan-Tormore fields, will be carried out by the [...]
#ndt The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center expects to save the Air Force money while protecting the environment and streamlining operations as they roll out their new nondestructive inspection process to inspect aircraft across the service. Computed radiography uses an imaging plate instead of film to produce X-ray images of airframes and their components digitally [...]
#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 [...]
#ndt GAOTek Inc., a leading provider of fiber optic and telecommunication testers, electronic measurement instruments and other advanced engineering products, introduces its Three-Channel Wireless HV CT Ratio Tester, a core technological product which is specific for the on-line measurement and is useful in the detection for primary and secondary current, transformation ratio, error, phase (group) angle [...]
#ndt This past summer, Infrasense conducted a multi-faceted non-destructive survey and report for 84 lane miles of a section of I-86, made up of abutted concrete panels. The project provided the client with a comprehensive set of condition results to identify and map out distressed panels along the roadway. Surveys were performed at normal driving speed [...]
#ndt In recent conversations at industry events, I have encountered a growing number of composites engineers who look bewildered when I mention mylar and fiberglass templates. Although this trend is a disconcerting sign of my lengthy career, more significantly, it underscores the advancements our industry has made in data infrastructure. In composites manufacturing, data infrastructure is [...]
