The maritime industry, known for its unique challenges and opportunities, has seen recent innovations that promise to transform ship deck and hull inspections. […]
The NDE 4.0 Journey: How Adopting a Universal Open File Format Empowers the Whole Industry
In the nondestructive testing (NDT) industry’s quest for digitalization, there is an obstacle slowing our progress. But when dealing with several incompatible file types, there’s only so far we can go in streamlining our processes through digital technology.
Adaptive Technologies in Ultrasonic Testing
Sponsored content. . by Fernando Ojeda . Introduction Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a noninvasive, accurate, and efficient method for inspection of materials in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, nuclear, and petrochemical. It involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to detect defects or changes in density, structure, or geometry, taking advantage of different […]
Benefits of Software Beamforming for Ultrasonic Inspections
This blog post is provided by The Phased Array Company, an ASNT Affiliate Partner. Sponsored content . by Nans Laroche Introduction The development of multi-element probes has favored the generalization of ultrasonic imaging methods for nondestructive testing (NDT). The reconstruction of a spatial image from temporal multi-element data is called beamforming. Early ultrasonic signal measurement […]
Is Phase Coherence Imaging Right for Your Application?
Phase coherence imaging is a variant of the total focusing method that detects defects using the signal’s phase information, disregarding the amplitude. Using only the phase portion of the signal offers advantages over conventional amplitude-based ultrasonic testing techniques—including phased array and TFM.
How Naval Forces Combat Ship Deck Plate Corrosion with Pulsed Eddy Current
There are both naval and maritime applications for pulsed eddy current testing inspections including ship deck inspections and ship hull corrosion assessment. The nonintrusive inspection solution is a gamechanger for naval forces under extraordinary pressure.
