Overview of NDT-RAM

Description

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is the examination of an object or material with technology that does not affect its future usefulness. NDT can be used without destroying or damaging a product or material. Because it allows inspection without interfering with a product's final use, NDT provides an excellent balance of quality control and cost-effectiveness.

The term "NDT" includes many methods that can:
· Detect internal or external imperfections
· Determine structure, composition, or material properties
· Measure geometric characteristics

NDT can and should be used in any phase of a product's design and manufacturing process, including materials selection, research and development, quality assurance, and production.

NDT-RAM™ is short for Resonant Acoustic Method nondestructive testing.  NDT-RAM is resonant inspection (RI) for nondestructive detection of structural differences in parts.
