AUGUST 20206 MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTSMeeting stringent technical standards is the need of the day as interdisciplinary industries update and modernize. In this milieu, non-destructive testing (NDT) methods are fast evolving as advancements in computers, electronics, and material science put forth new testing challenges. Stringent and often punitive safety regulations being legislated in most countries worldwide is pushing up the compliance burden. Given the high cost of non-compliance, companies are increasingly outsourcing NDT operations, requirements, and auditing functions to specialized service providers.NDT techniques such as phased array ultrasonics and digital radiography need to tackle limited awareness, which will affect demand for the relatively newer technologies. While customers are still partial to NDT, many are demanding a host of features from the equipment that cannot be incorporated due to technological or economic reasons. This demand, combined with the large-scale growth of automation in the industrial manufacturing and infrastructure sectors, has created a substantial increase in the innovation of flaw detection technology that seeks out manufacturing defects.NDT inspections are an integral part of the oil and gas and petrochemical industries, along with several other industries, including chemicals, aerospace, automotive, and defense. The overall goal of all these industries is to detect flaws in components to reduce failure and increase reliability. The growing interdependence of industries and steady growth in technology combined with increased credibility and customer awareness enforce a durable future for NDT techniques, and the industry as a whole. This edition of Manufacturing Technology Insights will have insightful articles from experts in the NDT space to assist industry leaders in taking advantage of highly effective NDT solutions.
