Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Überschrift Introduction Standard NDT methods NDT and PED EN standards EN 473 – Personnel Qualification and Certification EFNDT Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Tasks of NDT Introduction GENERALLY Überschrift Tasks of NDT GENERALLY Detection and quantitive description of deviations without distroying the usability of inspected specimen. IN PARTICULAR Detection of rough structure defects at the surface of the test specimen and inner defects. Sizing of these defects. Detection of microstructure characteristics or defects. APPLICATION of NDT During the manufacturing process within general quality assurance processes. During in-service inspection, e.g., for lifetime prediction. Introduction
