Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation

www.linnbenton.edu\ndt

The field of Nondestructive Testing (NDT) and Evaluation involves a family of scientific techniques and practices that reveal the internal and external characteristics of materials without impairing their future usefulness. NDT technicians routinely use ultrasonic, penetrant, magnetic particle, weld inspection, and radiographic inspection techniques to accept or reject castings, fabrications, or repairs that may impact the quality, durability and reliability of materials and goods in the areas of aerospace, construction, transportation, turbine and power generation, petrochemical industry, structural, plant infrastructure, manufacturing and many more areas.
