What is Non Destructive Testing ?
Non Destructive Testing , NDT , is industrial method for analyzing the characteristics of material or finding the discontinuities in the material & Weld joints, without damaging the material. NDT is otherwise called as, Non Destructive Evaluation –NDE, Non Destructive Inspection (NDI) and it a quantitative analysis method. Whereas Destructive Testing is a Qualitative analysis method, to find the quality of the material such as Tensile strength, Elongation property, hardness value, Impact toughness, etc The above mentioned qualitative properties cannot be found using NDT methods. This is because in order to find the mechanical properties, it is required to apply load on the material. The load deforms the material making them not usable. But NDT Methods are used in such a manner, that the material can be reused after the testing. This area answer some of the FAQ Frequently asked Questions What is NDT? What is the use of NDT?
