Non Destructive Testing Encyclopedia

NDT is an acronym for Non Destructive Testing. It is also refered to as Non Destructive Inspection (NDI), or Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE). NDT is exactly what its name implies, testing in which the part or material being evaluated is neither damaged nor destroyed. NDT covers a broad range of testing methods, including magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, ultrasonics, visual inspection and vibration analysis to name a few.
