The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies helps determine appropriate NDI methods for particular applications to prevent accidents, reduce costs, and provide important product information.
Nondestructive Inspection
Nondestructive inspection (NDI), also known as nondestructive testing (NDT), is a testing and inspection technique that evaluates a material, component, or structure’s properties for characteristic differences or welding defects without damaging or impacting the sample. This technique helps to avoid equipment failures resulting in unplanned downtime, revenue loss, personnel injury, and other negative outcomes.
The Importance of Nondestructive Inspection
There is a standard design requirement for all products and equipment, potentially requiring repairs or replacements due to undetected defects during fabrication, production, or delivery. Using NDI methods throughout a component or material’s manufacturing process safeguards assets, helping companies ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.
