NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

The publication is intended to help designers with regard to non-destructive testing (ndt) techniques and describes the capabilities and limitations of common ndt test methods. The leo technique for breaking down an ndt project into a mumber of manageable factors which can be further sub-divided if necessary is also discussed. The technique can be applied to cracks or crack-like defects as well as other forms of degradation such as wall thinning or pitting. /TRRL/
