Non-Destructive Testing is necessary to ensure the quality
of the product, systems reliability and environmental
saftey.

Answer / patilmalls

It is very difficult to weld or mold a solid object that
has the risk of breaking in service, so testing at
manufacture and during use is often essential. During the
process of casting a metal object, for example, the metal
may shrink as it cools, and crack or introduce voids inside
the structure. Even the best welders (and welding machines)
do not make 100% perfect welds. Some typical weld defects
that need to be found and repaired are lack of fusion of
the weld to the metal and porous bubbles inside the weld,
both of which could cause a structure to break or a
pipeline to rupture.

During their service lives, many industrial components need
regular non-destructive tests to detect damage that may be
difficult or expensive to find by everyday methods. For
example:

Aircraft skins need regular checking to detect cracks;
Underground pipelines are subject to corrosion and stress
corrosion cracking;
Pipes in industrial plants may be subject to erosion and
corrosion from the products they carry;
Reinforced concrete structures may be weakened if the inner
reinforcing steel is corroded;
Pressure vessels may develop cracks in welds;
The wire ropes in suspension bridges are subject to
weather, vibration, and high loads, so testing for broken
wires and other damage is important.
Finished machined parts, such as bearings, that have newly
been assembled can be tested for missing pieces, such as a
ball or roller bearing, or grease within the housing non-
destructively with a checkweigher. A roller motor for a
conveyor can be tested for the proper level of oil, without
disassembling the finished product. Thousand of
manufactured products can benefit from this form of testing.

Over the past centuries, swordsmiths, blacksmiths, and bell-
makers would listen to the ring of the objects they were
creating to get an indication of the soundness of the
material. The wheel-tapper would test the wheels of
locomotives for the presence of cracks, often caused by
fatigue — a function that is now carried out by
instrumentation and referred to as the acoustic impact
technique.

Use of X-rays for NDT is a common way of examining the
interior of products for voids and defects, although some
skill is needed in using radiography to examine samples and
interpret the results. Soft X-rays are needed for examining
low density material like polymers, composites and ceramics.

Answer / anil

It is necessary where a product is checked for internal
defects of any manufacturing product.

Answer / rajesh

NDT is used to check the properties of the material after
welding to know there defects like cracking,porosity etc

Answer / vishalshah007

In destructive testing, the sample/specimen/work piece get
destroyed.

but If you think that.. u hvad make a final product
but before delivery.. u want to check the properties..
than what to do..??

bhn-rhn, charpy, izod-impact etc can not be done.. That will
damage our product

So, we use NDT

Answer / shamanth

it is necessary where a product is checked for its
dimensins,composition,surface finish and its reliability
without destructing that product..

Answer / md nishat

NDT is a method to check any internal as well as external defect of the material with ought harming and changing its chemical and mechanical properties.

Answer / manickam

Nondestructive testing asks "Is there something wrong with
this material?" Various performance and proof tests, in
contrast, ask "Does this component work?" This is the reason
that it is not considered nondestructive testing when an
inspector checks a circuit by running electric current
through it. Hydrostatic pressure testing is usually proof
testing and intrinsically not nondestructive testing.
Acoustic emission testing used to monitor changes in a
pressure vessel's integrity during hydrostatic testing is
nondestructive testing

Answer / swathi

if the no of components are limited we cant afford to
destroy it so NDT is used
