NDT Conventional Techniques

---

Ultrasonic inspection uses a piezoelectrictransducer connected to a flaw detector, which in its most basic form is a pulser-receiver and oscilloscope display. The transducer is passed over the object being inspected, which is typically coupled to the test object by gel, oil or water. 

A thickness gauge is an essential quality assurance tool when anodizing, galvanizing and applying zinc coating to metallic surfaces.

Liquid penetrant (LPI) and magnetic particle (MPI) inspection techniques are methods that supplement visual inspection, revealing defects such as fine cracks or micro-porosity that would be invisible or difficult to detect by the naked eye.
