Damage testing is a technique used to evaluate materials and structures for defects, foreign objects, or other problems. Here are some things to keep in mind when performing NDT testing:
Safety Specifications: Strictly follow the relevant radiation safety codes and operating procedures. Ensure that all operations comply with national and industry safety standards, protecting the safety of operators and the surrounding environment.
Training and Qualification: Ensure that the inspectors have received professional training and have the corresponding NDT qualifications. Skilled operators help improve the accuracy and efficiency of inspections.
Equipment Calibration: Before each use, NDT equipment is calibrated to ensure its accuracy and reliability. Calibration is an important step in maintaining detection accuracy.
Environmental conditions: Ensure that the testing environment meets the requirements of the equipment, including temperature, humidity, etc. Extreme environmental conditions may affect the performance of your equipment.
Standards and Specifications: Comply with relevant NDT standards and specifications. These standards, often published by international, national, or industry organizations, provide guidelines for performing non-destructive testing.
Calibration samples: Periodic verification is performed using calibration samples of known quality. This helps to ensure the stability of the inspection equipment and operation and to identify possible problems in a timely manner.
Defect Assessment: Perform an accurate evaluation of detected defects, including the type, size, location, etc. of the defect. This helps to develop a proper repair and maintenance plan.
Recording & Reporting: Record the details of each inspection, including inspection parameters, device information, inspection results, etc. Generate detailed reports for traceability and analysis.
Procedure: Follow the prescribed procedure to ensure consistency and repeatability of the inspection. Standard operating procedures help reduce human error.
Maintenance: Regularly maintain and maintain the testing equipment to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition.
Communication and cooperation: Maintain good communication and cooperation with relevant departments and teams to jointly solve problems that may be encountered in the inspection.
These precautions help ensure the accuracy and reliability of NDT testing, as well as the safety of operators and the environment
