 NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING (NDT)
It is a testing and analysis technique used by
industry to evaluate the properties of a material,
component, structure or system for characteristic
differences or welding defects and
discontinuities without causing damage to the
original part. In other words, as long as the
product meets set specifications, it should still be
usable once the testing is complete.
MOST COMMON METHODS OF NON
DESTRUCTIVE TESTING (NDT):
 1. MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION
Magnetic particle NDT identifies impurities on or just
below the surface of a workpiece by creating a magnetic
field using a permanent magnet or electromagnet. An
electromagnet requires a current.
Both methods create magnetic flux lines that alter in the
presence of impurities. Unfortunately, this isn’t visible to the
human eye. Therefore, NDT technicians add colored
magnetic particles in powder or liquid form. If flaws are
present, the particles will gravitate toward them for the NDT
technician to examine.

 2. ULTRASONIC TESTING
Ultrasonic testing (UT) uses
high frequency sound energy
to conduct examinations and
make measurements.
Ultrasonic inspection can be
used to flaw detection or
evaluation, dimensional
measurements, material
characterization, etc.
A typical UT inspection system consists of
3 units:

a) PULSER - an electronic device that can

produce high voltage electrical pulses.
b) TRANSDUCER - generates high frequency
ultrasonic energy.
c) RECEIVER - receive signals and displays it
to the screen.

 3. PENETRANT TESTING
Also known as liquid penetrant testing, this method of NDT
identifies impurities, such as cracks, in the surface of a part.
Visual penetrant NDT is typically used on non-ferrous metals.
This type of NDT involves spraying a dyed liquid penetrant on
top of the base metal and leaving it to sit according to the
product's instructions. As the liquid sits on the workpiece, it will
sink into any present cracks. After some time, the NDT
technician wipes the penetrant away and adds a thin layer of a
developer. The developer pulls penetrant that may have seeped
into the metal’s impurities back to the surface for the NDT to
evaluate.

 4. RADIOGRAPHIC TESTING

Also known as Industrial Radiography. it is a NDT

method of inspecting materials for hidden flaws by using
the ability of short wavelength electromagnetic radiation
(high energy photons) to penetrate various materials.
it is nothing but to take the shadow picture of an
object onto a film by the passage of X-ray or Gamma
ray through it. it is the same as the medical radiography
(X-ray). Only difference in their wave length.
