Non Destructive Testing 2017

With recent developments in NDT methods and technologies, reliance on traditional methods due to standards, guidelines and practice is questionable. In a landscape where inspections are asking more of NDT processes and explanation, ensuring the right method is being used at the right time to provide the best results is crucial.

Non Destructive Testing 2017 will bring together experts from across the field of NDT. Attendees will gain an understanding of how to get the most out of NDT, the new techniques available and their reliability. They will also understand the developments being made with real time monitoring solutions and testing of composites.

Key programme highlights:

• RWE and Network Rail discuss how to enhance the effectiveness of NDT
• Assess advanced NDT techniques and their ability to replace traditional methods with Plant Integrity, University of Southampton and University of Bristol
• Gain technique insights on Phased Array Ultrasonics, Guided Wave Testing and Thermography
• Review the reliability and probability of detection with NDT techniques
• Understand the impact Human Factors can have on NDT and how Amec Foster Wheeler consider and overcome errors as a result
• Hear how Dstl (Ministry of Defence) use NDE to support remnant life prediction of military platforms and its use in assessing structural integrity

Key benefits:

• Assess the development of tools and techniques versus standards, guidelines and qualifications
• Join key discussions with RWE, Network Rail, Rolls-Royce, Dstl (MoD) and many more from across the field of NDT
• Hear how to apply the right method to the right inspection and how to align NDT with engineering for an integrated approach
• Gain the latest insights on Guided Wave, Phased Array and Thermography from Plant Integrity, University of Bristol and University of Southampton
• Learn about the advanced NDT techniques available and their ability to replace traditional methods
• Network and engage with colleagues, peers and industry innovators from across the field of NDT
