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)
