The Benefits of Non-Destructive Testing

Janek Pawlik is an alumnus of the University of Michigan, where he earned his MBA. He also holds an MS in Industrial Engineering and is a member of the American Society for Mechanical Engineers. In both his education and work, Janek Pawlik has explored fields like material science and non-destructive testing.

Also known as non-destructive inspection, non-destructive testing (NDT) is a technique used by industries to evaluate the properties of a structure, material, or component without damaging the product. Alongside saving costs, the procedure holds several benefits for a company. It facilitates comprehensive testing on a single subject, allowing engineers to measure multiple aspects without fear of damage or alteration. This reduces the need for selective sampling of a product. NDT also tends to be safer for operators, with stringent supervision provisions in place.

Finally, NDT lets producers test the product while it is still in the development stage. Since it does not create alterations, the testing processes can identify weaknesses and respond by modifying them without much time lag. This also helps streamline the manufacturing stages
