The aim of Non-Destructive Testing is to detect material defects, without damaging the material or product. NDT methods used by API Engineering include;
Die Penetrant and Magnetic Particle Testing,
Ultrasonic Testing and X-Ray Flaw Detection.
The 8 Most Common NDT Methods
- Visual NDT (VT)
- Ultrasonic NDT (UT)
- Radiography NDT (RT)
- Eddy Current NDT (ET)
- Magnetic Particle NDT (MT)
- Acoustic Emission NDT (AE)
- Dye Penetrant NDT (PT)
- Leak Testing (LT)
