Non-Destructive Testing Specialists

Non-Destructive Testing Specialists examine structures, equipment, and materials for flaws and weaknesses without causing any damage to the items being inspected. They use sophisticated technologies like ultrasonic equipment, radiography, magnetic particle testing, and fiber optic scopes to detect cracks, corrosion, welds defects, and other hidden problems in everything from aircraft components and pipeline welds to bridge supports and pressure vessels. Their work typically involves preparing surfaces for testing, calibrating sensitive instruments, conducting systematic inspections following strict protocols, and carefully interpreting the results to determine whether items meet safety standards.
