Non Destructive Testing The term non-destructive testing (NDT) covers a range of methods used to verify the integrity of parts, components, materials and structures without damaging them. Non-destructive testing supplements destructive testing, which is carried out to determine the strength of structures by methods such as breaking, peeling, etc. At a glance Functions Types For whom FAQ Contact us Caption SECTORS COVERED Virtually every industrial sector now carries out NDT and our teams operate across all of them.

INTRODUCTION Test methods to boost your performanceThe term non-destructive testing (NDT) covers a range of methods used to verify the integrity of parts, components, materials and structures without damaging them. Non-destructive testing supplements destructive testing, which is carried out to determine the strength of structures by methods such as breaking, peeling, etc. With an expansion of the NDT market, it makes it possible to meet increasingly stringent safety, risk management and quality requirements. NDT is achieved during the various stages in the part life cycle – production (forging, casting, etc.), operation and maintenance. NDT provides a way to detect internal defects in the structure of the parts or components tested. It is used to monitor equipment and ensure proper aging to help prevent equipment failure. Actemium delivers NDT systems and services that improve your industrial performance and ensure the product reliability that your customers expect. Caption REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS Increasingly stringent safety legislation makes the use of NDT indispensable. High-risk industries and parts required to be absolutely reliable in service are subject to quality requirements that only NDT can guarantee. Whatever your field of activity, we can provide you with state-of-the-art NDT technologies and testing. We can advise and assist you in drawing up an NDT specification that will enable you to ensure regulatory compliance. SURFACE INTEGRITY NDT is used to detect surface defects in a part, component or structure. We offer a range of tests: leak, visual and video inspection, dye penetrant, magnetic particle, ultrasonic and (for parts with particularly complex shapes) eddy current induction. Tests are carried out either in our workshops or at the customer’s premises when the components to be tested cannot be moved. The 8 NDT functions A broad range of applications NDT was initially used by large companies in such fields as aerospace, shipbuilding, nuclear energy, sheet metal fabrication, transport, petrochemicals and storage. NDT was subsequently applied to a wide variety of sectors and is currently employed in fields such as medicine (irradiation of blood bags, research (cancer), art (x ray analysis of paintings by old masters) and jewellery (metal plating). Caption COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY The computed tomography technique, which is comparable to CT scans used in medical imaging, generates three-dimensional images of the object being tested. It is used to analyse the material both externally and internally. X RAY RADIOGRAPHY X ray testing provides access to the internal structure of objects and materials. The resulting images are displayed in conventional (photographic film) or digital format. The technique is used, among other things, to check weld integrity, corrosion and cracks in mechanical parts, etc. Main types of NDT Caption SALES MANAGER How can I use NDT as a selling point for my customers?
