Non Destructive Testing (EBT 401/3)

"Practical Non-Destructive Testing" aims to cover the principles, procedures, applications, limitations, codes and standards widely used in non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques. Since 1996, when it was first published, there have been rapid advances in the techniques used in NDT. The authors while updating the earlier chapters also added new techniques in the Second edition on Neutron radiography, Pulsed Eddy Current Testing, Low Frequency Eddy Current Testing, SQUID based Eddy Current Testing and Mechanical Impedance Analysis. The Chapter on 'Reliability in NDT' was revised and expanded completely and renamed as 'POD Concepts in NDT.

Perform Accurate, Cost-Effective Product Testing Nondestructive testing has become the leading product testing standard, and Handbook of Non-Destructive Evaluations by Chuck Hellier is the unparalleled one-stop, A-to-Z guide to this subject. Covering the background, benefits, limitations, and applications of each, this decision-simplifying resource looks at both the major and emerging nondestructive evaluation methods, including: visual testing…penetrant testing…magnetic particle testing…radiographic testing…Ultrasonic testing… eddy current testing…thermal infrared testing…and acoustic emission testing. In clear, understandable terms, the Handbook shows you how to interpret results and formulate the right decisions based on them, making it a welcome resource for engineers, metallurgists, quality control specialists, and anyone else involved in product design, manufacture, or maintenance. The Handbook is also the ideal prep tool if you’re seeking certification in AWS/CSWIP, ASNT Level III, ACCP, and IRRSP programs. If you’re looking for a one-stop answer to all your nondestructive testing questions, your search ends here.

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) inspection schemes are important in design, manufacturing, and maintenance. By correctly applying techniques of NDE, we can reduce machine and system failures and increase reliability of operating systems over an extended lifetime. Nondestructive Evaluation: A Tool in Design, Manufacturing, and Service introduces and discusses primary techniques used in the field, including ultrasonics, acoustic emission, magnetics, radiography, penetrants, and eddy currents. Examples of each of these techniques are included, demonstrating typical applications.

This book emphasises the need for non-destructive testing and evaluation of welded components, with due coverage of various aspects of welding technology. Different types of welding processes are covered in detail, along with weld defects, weld appropriateness, quality classes and all conventional and advanced NDT techniques. There is also in-depth coverage of residual stress analysis in weldments, automation and robotics in NDT and weld failures, and with the further extensive information on fracture mechanics concepts and quality control, this truly is a unique book. All professionals and students in welding technology and NDT will find it most useful.

The second edition builds on the success of the first edition and covers the widespread introduction of computer technology, particularly the digitization of data into the many branches of NDT. It surveys the new European (CEN) Standards and provisional CEN Standards on NDT, many of which are replacing British Standards. New NDT techniques not included in the first edition are also included.
