Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is an NDT method that uses electromagnetic waves—also called radar pulses—to penetrate and reflect off subsurface structures and materials in order to find defects or...

Industrial Radiography is an NDT method that uses X-rays or gamma rays to inspect the internal structure of materials and components, allowing inspectors to find defects hidden from the naked eye....

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) is an NDT method that employs magnetic fields and magnetic particles to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. Alternate...

Leak Testing is an NDT method that uses pressure to detect and locate leaks in systems and components, ensuring the integrity, safety, and performance of these systems. Alternate phrases for leak...

Ultrasonic testing (UT) is an NDT method that uses high-frequency sound waves to detect flaws, measure material thickness, and characterize materials. Alternate phrases for UT include: Ultrasonic...

Visual inspection is a fundamental NDT method that involves using the naked eye or visual aids to examine materials, components, or systems for any defects or irregularities. Visual inspections are...

Eddy Current Testing (ECT) is an NDT method that employs electromagnetic induction to detect flaws, measure material thickness, and assess the properties of conductive materials. ECT is particularly...

Acoustic Emission Testing (AET) is an NDT method that monitors the release of energy in the form of transient elastic waves—also known as acoustic emissions—from materials under stress in order to...
