Radiography Part 3 The previous two articles dealt with what may be termed conventional radiographic techniques employing either gamma- or X-ray sources and photographic film. The development of  electronics, in particular the increase in computing power over the last 20 or 30 years, has enabled what were laboratory based radiographic methods – real time radiography […]

Visual Testing You see, but do you observe? Introduction Visual testing is the most common and essential of all Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods. Unlike other NDT methods which require either special equipment or consumables to reveal an indication, visual testing, in its most common form, only requires one to look at a surface and interpret

SAIW a one-stop-shop for consumable testing and verification Confidence Lekoane Despite it being a subject that has been intensely researched over the decades, Hydrogen in weldments of steel, particularly high-tensile and high strength low-alloyed steels continue to limit the performance of components due to the negative effect on the properties of the metal. Embrittlement, cracking and
