NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
The non-destructive testing methods find wide application on semi-finished products, products and structures of any shape, material and size. The purpose is to check the integrity without altering the material.
Because of this characteristic these methods are often used to monitor the integrity of particulars of safety, of portant structures and of parts of plants in operation.

Non-destructive tests are thus used not only as a control of the finished product but also as production support, as preliminary pre-treatment tests or as controls in line downstream of a process that poses risks for the integrity of materials.
These tests have become important tools to ensure the safety and reliability of products contributing significantly to the reduction of non-compliance of the product and, ultimately, to reduce breakage during operation.
The range of NDT methids aplication is truly vast. Basically it is possible to control everything, metallic and non metallic products, products with different shapes, with different thicknesses.
Logically, any method is strongly characterized by the physical properties which define its application field. It is therefore necessary to know the applicability and limitations of the various test methods to determine feasibility and method of carrying out an examination.
Non-destructive tests (N.D.T.) are inspections, checks and surveys carried out by means of methods that do not alter the material and do not require the destruction or removal of test samples from the concerned structure. The main feature of this kind of tests is the possibility to check the concerned parts without interfering with the tested material.
Non-destructive tests are thus a crucial tool for the product final check. As for safety parts, the check by means of non-destructive test also ensures the product conformity.
