A Non-Destructive Testing (NDT, Nondestructive Testing) is the examination or testing work process using a science and industrial technology to verify a work performance of production and evaluate and analysis a property, component of material and system without any damage or destroy of the product or property. The ASNT (The American Society for Nondestructive Testing) stated that test method names often refer to the type of penetrating medium or the equipment used to perform that test. (Also, called as the NDE (Non-Destructive Examination))
Current NDT methods are: Acoustic Emission Testing (AET), Electromagnetic Testing (ET), Guided Wave Testing (GW), Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Laser Testing Methods (LM), Leak Testing (LT), Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL), Microwave Nondestructive Testing (MNDT), Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Neutron Radiographic Testing (NR), Radiographic Testing (RT), Thermal/Infrared (IR) Testing, Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Vibration Analysis (VA) and Visual Testing (VT).
