Non-destructive testing methods: Basic principles and methods

Non-destructive testing (NDT) allows components to be checked during manufacture or even during operation, and is therefore an indispensable part of quality assurance. It ensures the functionality and safety of installations and objects. This collection of standards contains the most important information on established NDT methods in 24 documents. The information contained ranges from the qualification of personnel and terminology to various test methods for different areas of application.

The methods are presented in a detailed and comprehensible manner, and the documents included are up-to-date with the latest technology and standards.
