Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), also known as Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE), is a set of inspection techniques used to assess the integrity, quality, and properties of materials or structures without causing damage. These methods enable the detection of defects, flaws, or irregularities in a non-intrusive manner, ensuring the reliability and safety of components in various industries such as manufacturing, construction, and maintenance.
NDT/NDE techniques include ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, magnetic particle testing, liquid penetrant testing, and others, providing valuable insights into the structural health of materials without compromising their functionality.
