Setting the PACE

摘要

Digital imaging is leading an evolution of non-destructive testing equipment, claims D. dos Santos, YXLON Copenhagen, Portugal. The race to be faster, better and more efficient is real in the non-destructive testing (NDT) industry, with companies facing the challenge of meeting regulatory restrictions, safety regulations and fierce competition. To keep a competitive edge, continuous equipment upgrades are a must. The rate of technological advances in a historically slow evolving industry is increasing. Manufacturers of NDT sources and crawler carts have intensified the evolution of their products, making existing NDT fleets less competitive, if not obsolete.
