NDT Inspection & Testing has re-designed and up-dated its website (www.ndt.inspection.co.uk) so that it now provides a comprehensive insight into the company and its activities, following the recent management buyout. It also provides an in-depth and user-friendly appraisal of many of today's NDT techniques.
The new, easy-to-navigate site sets out the range of inspection services offered by the company, from radiographic testing, primarily for the aerospace sector, at its three strategic UK locations, to on-site inspection covering the complete industrial and process spectra. It also details the various formal approvals held by the company, which include UKAS and Nadcap as well as approvals from major manufacturers and suppliers. An in-depth explanation is provided of the company's structured approach to inspection, demonstrated by its development of its parts- tracking system and its adoption and application of the latest technology, such as digital radiography, phased array ultrasonic inspection, remote visual inspection and TOFD.
A significant proportion of the website is devoted to exploring the reasons for inspection and to describing the range of techniques and methodologies available to meet all inspection criteria. Case study material provides practical examples of NDT in action and shows how NDT Inspection & Testing has used its considerable expertise and experience to provide cost-effective solutions to clients' inspection problems.
The website also offers clear and concise explanation of some of the often misunderstood expressions used in NDT such as coverage, resolution and repeatability.
