A complete, up-to-date guide to the leading product testing standard Fully revised to cover the latest nondestructive testing (NDT) procedures, this practical resource reviews established and emerging methods for examining materials without destroying them or altering their structure. Handbook of Nondestructive Evaluation, Second Edition offers in-depth details on the background, benefits, limitations, and applications of each method. The book provides advice on how to interpret results and formulate accurate decisions based on your findings. New chapters on digital radiography, ultrasonic phased array testing, and ultrasonic guided wave inspection are included. This is a must-have reference for NDT certification candidates, engineers, metallurgists, quality control specialists, and anyone involved in product design, manufacture, or maintenance. Handbook of Nondestructive Evaluation, Second Edition covers: Introduction to nondestructive testing Discontinuities—origins and classification Visual testing Penetrant testing Magnetic particle testing Radiographic testing Ultrasonic testing Eddy current testing Thermal infrared testing Acoustic emission testing Digital radiography Ultrasonic phased array testing Ultrasonic guided wave inspection

Perform Accurate, Cost-Effective Product Testing Nondestructive testing has become the leading product testing standard, and Handbook of Non-Destructive Evaluations by Chuck Hellier is the unparalleled one-stop, A-to-Z guide to this subject. Covering the background, benefits, limitations, and applications of each, this decision-simplifying resource looks at both the major and emerging nondestructive evaluation methods, including: visual testing…penetrant testing…magnetic particle testing…radiographic testing…Ultrasonic testing… eddy current testing…thermal infrared testing…and acoustic emission testing. In clear, understandable terms, the Handbook shows you how to interpret results and formulate the right decisions based on them, making it a welcome resource for engineers, metallurgists, quality control specialists, and anyone else involved in product design, manufacture, or maintenance. The Handbook is also the ideal prep tool if you’re seeking certification in AWS/CSWIP, ASNT Level III, ACCP, and IRRSP programs. If you’re looking for a one-stop answer to all your nondestructive testing questions, your search ends here.

A fully updated guide to nondestructive product testing practices and standards This up-to-date resource covers the latest methods for examining materials without destroying them or altering their structure. The book offers comprehensive details on the background, benefits, limitations, and applications of each technique. You will discover how to perform effective tests, interpret results, and formulate accurate decisions based on your findings. Ideal both as a textbook and as a study guide for the ANST certification exam, this book clearly discusses visual, ultrasonic, and thermal infrared testing—and much more. Handbook of Nondestructive Evaluation, Third Edition, covers: [The first bullet point states the obvious: Like most books, this book introduces the subject of the book in Chapter 1. Therefore, I have deleted the bullet point. (Of course, this is just my opinion. If others disagree with me, feel free to ignore me.) • Discontinuities―origins and classification • Visual testing • Penetrant testing • Magnetic particle testing • Radiographic testing • Ultrasonic testing • Eddy current testing • Thermal infrared testing • Acoustic emission testing • Digital radiography • Ultrasonic phased array testing • Ultrasonic guided wave inspection • Shearography nondestructive testing

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) inspection schemes are important in design, manufacturing, and maintenance. By correctly applying techniques of NDE, we can reduce machine and system failures and increase reliability of operating systems over an extended lifetime. Nondestructive Evaluation: A Tool in Design, Manufacturing, and Service introduces and discusses primary techniques used in the field, including ultrasonics, acoustic emission, magnetics, radiography, penetrants, and eddy currents. Examples of each of these techniques are included, demonstrating typical applications.

This book presents a detailed, up-to-date discussion of today's most commonly used and emerging methods of nondestructive testingincluding background, explanation, benefits, limitations, applications, and comparisons to destructive testing.

Civil engineers will value this resource that examines the tools and techniques used to estimate the in-place strength on concrete, permeation properties that relate to potential durability, and the methods used to assess the internal condition of concrete and the corrosion activity of steel reinforcement.
