Qualitest International: Introduction to Mechanical and Civil NDT Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) refers to a range of testing techniques used to evaluate the properties and integrity of materials, components, and structures without causing any damage. NDT plays a critical role in the mechanical and civil engineering industries, ensuring safety, reliability, and performance while identifying defects and irregularities in materials. Importance of NDT Mechanical Industry: Used to assess welds, pipes, pressure vessels, machinery, and structural components to ensure durability and strength. Civil Industry: Applied to inspect bridges, buildings, concrete structures, pipelines, and other infrastructure for defects like cracks, voids, or corrosion. Common NDT Methods and Tests Visual Testing (VT) A basic inspection method using the naked eye or tools to identify visible surface defects like cracks, corrosion, or misalignments. Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Uses high-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws, cracks, or thickness variations in metals, concrete, and composites. Radiographic Testing (RT) Utilizes X-rays or gamma rays to identify internal defects such as voids, cracks, or inclusions within welds and str
