NDT ( NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING )

NDT (NON DESTRUCTIVE  TESTING) :- 

Non Destructive Testing in great variety are in world  wide used to detect variations in structure,minute changes in surface finish, the presence of cracks or other physical discontinuities,measure  the thickness  of materials  and  coatings  and  to  determine other characteristics of industrial products.

NDT (MPI)
REASON'S FOR THE USE OF NDT:

"NDT" is used by the manufacturers for the following reasons: 
1. To ensure product reliability.
2. To make profit for the user.
a)   To ensure customer satisfaction
b)  To aid in better product reliability.
c)   To control the manufacturing processes.
d)  To lower the manufacturing costs.
e)   To maintain uniform quality level.

SOME OF THE MOST COMMON NDT METHODS ARE :
1.VISUAL  INSPECTION
2.LIQUID PENETRATION TEST
3.MAGNETIC PARTICLE TEST
4.RADIOGRAPHY  TEST
5.ULTRASONIC  TEST

Rockwell Hardness Test

Rockwell Hardness Test The Rockwell hardness test method consists of indenting the test material with a diamond cone or hardened steel ball indenter. The indenter is forced into the test material under a preliminary minor load FO usually I 0 kgf. When equilibrium has been reached, an indicating device, which follows the movements of the indenter and so responds to changes in depth of penetration of the indenter is set to a datum position. While the preliminary minor load is still applied an additional major load is applied with resulting increase in penetration . When equilibrium has again been reach, the additional major load is removed but the preliminary minor load is still maintained. Removal of the additional major load allows a partial recovery, so reducing the depth of penetration. The permanent increase in depth of penetration, resulting from the application and removal of the additional major load is used to calculate the Rockwell hardness number.        ...

The Brinell Hardness Test

The Brinell Hardness Test The Brinell hardness test method consists of indenting the test material with a 10 mm diameter hardened steel or carbide ball subjected to a load of 3000 kg. For softer materials the load can be reduced to 1500 kg or 500 kg to avoid excessive indentation. The full load is normally applied for 10 to 15 seconds in the case of iron and steel and for at least 30 seconds in the case of other metals. The diameter of the indentation left in the test material is measured with a low powered microscope. The Brinell harness number is calculated by dividing the load applied by the surface area of the indentation. The diameter of the impression is the average of two readings at right angles and the use of a Brinell hardness number table can simplify the determination of the Brinell hardness. A well structured Brinell hardness number reveals the test conditions, and looks like this, "75 HB 10/500/30" which means that a Brinell Hardness of 75 was obtained us...

FILLET WELD FRACTURE TEST

FILLET WELD FRACTURE TEST Object :  To break the joint through the weld to permit examination of the fracture surfaces for flaws and to check root penetration and fusion. Method: The specimen is cut to length and a saw cut, normally 2 mm deep, is made along the center of the weld face. The specimen is fractured by bending or hammer blows. Reporting Results: Thickness of parent material.  Throat thickness and leg length.  Location of fracture. Appearance of joint after fracture. Depth of penetration / lack of penetration or fusion.
