Assisted Defect Recognition (ADR) software is crucial to any company that wants to perform highly accurate non-destructive testing (NDT). Many companies across a wide array of industries use ADR to test their parts and ensure they’re defect-free, whether these parts are rolling off the assembly line or are already installed in machinery. By learning about ADR and using

Digital radiography (DR) inspection provides numerous benefits to the non-destructive testing community, including real-time applications, improved detail detectability and lowered inspection times. Understanding Digital Radiography Testing Digital radiography inspection is an innovative form of radiography using X-ray-sensitive plates to capture data for many fields, such as aerospace, automotive, defence, nuclear, oil and gas, museums and

What is DICONDE? Inspectors use non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to evaluate the integrity of a component, material or system without alteration or damage. Multiple NDT methods exist, each serving a specific purpose, such as liquid penetrant testing, leak testing and radiography testing. Digital Imaging and Communication in Non-Destructive Evaluation (DICONDE) is a standardised format that allows for

Welded joints are responsible for crucial structures and components in many different industries. To ensure the welds maintain their quality and integrity, they must undergo inspection with a method that won’t impact performance. Non-destructive testing (NDT) offers this kind of inspection with fast, precise and affordable technology. Common NDT methods include traditional and digital radiography, which come
-
In the oil and gas industry, safety is critical, but the need for well-maintained systems can conflict with the need to avoid downtime and service interruptions. Traditional methods of testing often require oil and gas companies to drain pipes and tanks to conduct inspections. Non-destructive testing (NDT) provides a method that bypasses these interruptions. In the context
-
The aerospace industry demands an intense focus on precision and accuracy. When producing technology for this sector, every part must fit into place perfectly to ensure safety and long-term product durability. The aerospace industry frequently relies on production methods such as investment casting to create components for the interior, landing, breaking, cargo and hydraulic fluid

What is Computed Radiography? Computed Radiography (CR) is a type of Digital Radiography (DR) that replaces traditional X- ray imaging. Unlike traditional X-ray systems, CR systems use photostimulable phosphor imaging plates to capture images instead of the conventional film screen. Upon radiation exposure, the plate captures an image of the test object. This is one
