4. Condition Monitoring Method
Thermography – Infrared Testing - IR
Thermography enables the thermal profile of an item, machine or building to be presented in a graphic form which allows a working temperature assessment to be derived. From this, variations in the material or component temperature are identified, enabling working limits or corrective actions to be identified.
Vibration Analysis - VA
The rotary machines produce vibration noise. By monitoring the frequency, amplitude etc. of the vibration the condition of the machine can be estimated.
5. Special NDT methods
NDT engineers and technicians also use magnetic resonance imaging, vibration monitoring, laser ultrasonics, holography, computed tomography as well as many other specialized methods for specialized applications
A Career in NDT
Careers can be in a variety of areas:
