    Study Notes

    Drone use for remote data

    • Improves safety by eliminating the need for inspectors to enter dangerous spaces
    • Saves money by eliminating the need for scaffolding and reducing inspection time
    • Collects high quality data that allows for tracking changes in assets over time

    Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

    • Uses high-frequency sound waves to detect defects in materials by measuring thickness
    • Commonly used on metal
    • Developed in response to the sinking of the Titanic
    • Became widespread in the 1920s for industrial purposes, and is now a common non-destructive testing (NDT) method

    Eddy Current Testing (ECT)

    • Uses electromagnetic fields to detect defects in materials
    • Categorized into probes and instruments
    • Probes come in handheld, surface array, and tubing array varieties
    • Instruments come in handheld, large, and modular categories
    • Widely used for code-based inspections

    Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)

    • Uses magnetic fields to identify defects on the surface and near-surface of ferromagnetic materials
    • Commonly used NDT method due to speed and low cost
    • Works by magnetizing the material and observing how the magnetic field is disrupted by defects
    • Magnetic particles are used to visualize these disruptions

    History of MPI

    • First recorded use in 1868 to inspect cannon barrels
    • William Hoke discovered that metallic shavings could form patterns on magnetized surfaces, leading to the development of modern MPI techniques
    • Became a standard inspection method in the railroad industry in the 1930s

    Leak Testing

    • Uses pressure to identify leaks caused by defects in objects that store or move liquids or gases
    • Common NDT method
    • Detects cracks, holes, weak seals, and other flaws that allow liquids or gases to leak
    • Widely used in industries such as automotive, consumer goods, medical devices, packaging, and sealed electronics
    • Advancements in sensors and other technologies have improved leak testing sensitivity and accuracy
