NDT-Destructive Testing is the Synergism of Science and Engineering to create methods of testing that leave the item under test totally undamaged. This means that the component can continue to be used and that the non-destructive Testing method has done no harm.
NDT can be used to ensure the quality right from raw material stage through fabrication and processing to pre-service and In-service inspection. Apart from ensuring the structural integrity, quality and reliability of components and plants, today NDT finds extensive applications for condition monitoring, residual life assessment, energy audit etc.
