  • RADIOGRAPHY | NDT Training in Trichy | ESL

      RADIOGRAPHY OR  RADIOGRAPHIC TESTING Introduction This module presents information on the NDT method of radiographic inspection or radiography. Radiography uses penetrating radiation that is directed towards a component. The component stops some of the radiation. The amount that is stopped or absorbed is affected by material density and thickness differences. These differences in “absorption”…

  • PENETRANT TESTING | NDT Training In Trichy | ESL

      PENETRANT TESTING Introduction This module is intended to provide an introduction to the NDT method of penetrant testing. Penetrant Testing, or PT, is a nondestructive  testing method that builds on the principle  of Visual Inspection. PT increases the “seeability” of small discontinuities that the human eye might not be able to detect alone. Outline:…
