NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

---

A non-destructive test (NDT) is a technique used to evaluate the properties of a material, component or structure without causing permanent damage. These tests are used in a wide range of industries, such as construction, manufacturing, engineering and aerospace, to verify structural integrity, detect hidden defects, measure thicknesses and evaluate material quality, among other purposes.

These test methods allow professionals to obtain valuable information about the quality and integrity of a material or component without permanently altering it, which is essential in applications where the integrity of the object in question must be preserved. In addition, nondestructive testing is vital in the early detection of potential failures or defects, which contributes to the safety, efficiency and reliability of industrial structures and components.
