Carestream’s Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) group has released the HPX-DR 2530 PC, a non-glass detector that enables faster throughput for imaging, as well as rapid analysis and reporting. The durable non-glass design is built for the tough conditions of NDT work, especially portable radiography. With a 145 μm resolution, the HPX-DR 2530 PC provides highly detailed imaging [...]
We are proud to announce that the Novosound Belenus-X corrosion monitoring sensor is certified for operation in ATEX, IECEx and UKEX Zone 0 locations. Designed and manufactured in line with international intrinsically safe standards, this latest certification extends the potential application of the Novosound Belenus-X to operate in areas where explosive gas atmosphere is present continuously [...]
The new DRC 3643 NDT rounds off DÜRR NDT’s DRC product range of robust flat panel detectors for industrial digital radiography. Thanks to its portability and large active area of 36 x 43 cm, the new detector is particularly well suited for corrosion and erosion inspections on pipes in compliance with DIN EN ISO 20769. With [...]
Avonix Imaging is excited to announce they will be hosting A-TEC 2022 on September 20 and 21, at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest Elm Creek Amphitheater in Minnesota. The A-TEC Conference is a bi-annual Educational and Networking event for professionals involved in Radiographic Nondestructive Testing, specifically 2D Digital X-ray and 3D Computed Tomography. The content and experiences [...]
Not everybody fully understands robots, even those that intend to use them. But they do understand NDT. Eddyfi Technologies doesn't consider replacing humans and inspectors with robots, but giving humans the ability to further extend the reach of inspection to areas otherwise inaccessible, dangerous, or expensive to reach. Removing the human from the risk zone, but [...]
Use of adhesive bonding to assemble composite structures is not new. It’s been widely used in every major end market the composites industry serves, ranging from automotive and marine to wind and defense. In high-performance applications like aerostructures, however, use of unitized, integrated structures has been limited by lack of confidence in the quality of adhesively [...]
Greg Blackman speaks to Colin Burnham of Deep Detection about new X-ray technology for industrial inspection An industrial X-ray camera able to perform spectral imaging – which hasn’t been possible before – is about to be launched into the marketplace. Deep Detection was founded in July 2020 as a spin-out from the Institute de Fisica d’Altes [...]
