When it comes to ensuring that assets are properly maintained, the importance of non-destructive testing cannot be over emphasized.
Here are the top reasons NDT is used by so many companies throughout the world:
Savings. The most obvious answer to this question is that NDT is more appealing than destructive testing because it allows the material or object being examined to survive the examination unharmed, thus saving money and resources.
Safety. NDT is also appealing because almost all NDT techniques (except radiographic testing) are harmless to people.
Efficiency. NDT methods allow for the thorough and relatively quick evaluation of assets, which can be crucial for ensuring continued safety and performance on a job site.
Accuracy. NDT methods have been proven accurate and predictable, both qualities you want when it comes to maintenance procedures meant to ensure the safety of personnel and the longevity of equipment.

Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a family of NDT techniques based on the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the object or material tested. In most common UT applications, very short ultrasonic pulse-waves, are transmitted into materials to detect internal flaws or to characterize materials.
MPI is a non-destructive process for detecting surface and shallow subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials such as iron and some of it's alloys.
The dye penetrant method of inspection is a nondestructive test for defects open to the surface. It may be used on such materials as aluminum, magnesium, brass, copper, cast iron, steel, stainless steel, carbides, stellite, certain plastics and ceramics.
Visual inspection, with or without optical aids, is the original method of NDT. Many defects are surface-breaking and can be detected by careful direct visual inspection.
