Nondestructive Testing Lab and Services

Nondestructive testing (NDT) is a varied group of test and inspection processes used to detect surface and sub-surface defects or inconsistencies in test samples without affecting the future operating performance of the inspected parts. This category of test method is also known as NDT testing, nondestructive examination, or nondestructive evaluation.
