I would like to ask if anybody know how i may apply Dynamic Depth Focusing (DDF) in the Omniscan MX2?

Does it possible with the MX2 unit or we need to use another unit in order to apply this technique?

Thanks

Hi every professional NDT engineer,
I have not the experience for PAUT on casting structures/welds, as you know that casting surface is not eveness, so always lose data, or the sensitivity level. I suppose the hydroform probe is good choice, but I did not find out this kind of probe from OLYMPUS, it will be great if you can share your…

Liquid penetrant testing is one of the oldest and simplists NDT methods where its earliest versions (using kerosene and oil mixture) dates back to the 19th century. This method is used to reveal surface discontinuities by bleedout of a colored or fluorescent dye from the flaw. The technique is based on the ability

of a liquid to be drawn into…

Magnetic Particle Testing

Magnetic particle testing is a non destructive testing method for detection of surface and near surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials.

Ferromagnetic materials are materials that can be magnetized to a level that will allow the inspection to be effective. They are,

Iron, Cobalt, Nickel and their…

NDT (Non-Destructive Testing): Methods & Applications

Introduction:1.1-What is NDT?

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is the branch of engineering concerned with all methods of detecting and evaluating flaws in materials, i.e. Inspect or measure without doing harm.

Flaws can affect the serviceability of the material or structure, so NDT is important…
