I’m trying to learn for my Engineering class and I’m stuck. Can you help?
For this discussion activity, research the web and find a nondestructive inspection and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing non-destructive testing in determining aircraft worthiness. This list is by no means all-inclusive; it’s just to get you to think about different types of inspection techniques:
- Ultrasonic Testing (UT), including C-scan, Immersion (IUT), Phased Array
- Radiographic Testing (RT, Radiography, X-ray) including Gamma Ray
- Eddy Current Testing (ET)
- Magnetic Particle Testing/Magnetic Particle Inspection
- Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
- Visual and Optical Testing (VT)
- Leak Testing (LT, Leak Detection)
- Acoustic Emission Testing (AE)
- Infrared and Thermal Testing (IR)
- Shearography
- Acoustic Resonance Testing (ART)
- ASNT Level III and Level II
- Field Services
- Structural Steel Inspection
