Glossary
- Non-destructive testing (NDT)
- Inspection methods that check the integrity, condition or properties of a material, component or weld without damaging it, used across oil and gas, power, transport, construction and manufacturing.
- Ultrasonic testing (UT)
- A volumetric NDT method that sends high-frequency sound waves into a part and reads reflected or transmitted signals to detect internal flaws and measure thickness.
- Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT)
- An advanced UT technique using multi-element probes and electronic beam steering to map welds, corrosion and complex geometries with detailed imaging.
- Time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD)
- A UT technique that uses diffracted signals from flaw tips to size defects, commonly applied to weld inspection with encoded scans.
- Radiographic testing (RT)
- A volumetric method using X-rays or gamma radiation to produce images of internal structure; digital radiography and computed tomography are increasingly used for faster review.
- Magnetic particle testing (MT)
- A surface and near-surface method for ferromagnetic materials that uses magnetic fields and iron particles to reveal cracks and discontinuities.
- Liquid penetrant testing (PT)
- A surface method that applies a visible or fluorescent penetrant and developer to expose open defects in non-porous materials.
- Eddy current testing (ET)
- An electromagnetic method for conductive materials, used for crack detection, heat-exchanger tube inspection and coating or conductivity checks.
- Acoustic emission testing (AET)
- A passive method that listens for stress waves released by active defects, often used for pressure vessels, tanks and structural monitoring.
- Visual inspection (VT)
- The first-line examination of equipment, welds, castings or structures for surface defects, corrosion, alignment and workmanship, often supported by borescopes and remote cameras.
- Flaw detector
- A portable or bench instrument that drives an NDT probe and displays signals for operator interpretation; ultrasonic and eddy current flaw detectors are common at NDT Russia.
- Transducer or probe
- The component that converts electrical energy into an inspection signal, such as ultrasound or eddy currents, and couples it into the test piece.
- Calibration block
- A reference piece with known dimensions or artificial defects used to set sensitivity, verify probe performance and keep NDT measurements repeatable.
- NDT certification
- Personnel qualification to standards such as ISO 9712 or employer-based schemes, defining the inspection methods, levels and responsibilities an operator may perform.
