Non-destructive testing is a crucial aspect of quality control, helping to ensure that components are manufactured to the correct standards and specifications.
NDT is used across many industries, including aerospace, oil and gas, nuclear, power generation, medical, rail and general manufacturing. As the tests do not destroy or alter the part being tested, they are highly valuable and can save time and money.
Common methods of NDT include visual testing, penetrant testing, magnetic particle testing, eddy current testing, radiographic testing and ultrasonic testing. Each have their advantages and disadvantages. With advancements in digital control and imaging, other techniques have been developed including phased array ultrasonic testing, time of flight diffraction, digital and computed radiography, phased eddy current and pulsed eddy current.
Fife College’s non-destructive testing (NDT) training courses give you a comprehensive understanding of the processes where tests are conducted on a component without causing damage to its structure.
We offer courses focusing on all the main methods of NDT, so you can choose what training is right for your business.
