Powering Reliability with NDT in the Energy Sector

 In power generation—whether fossil, nuclear, hydro, or renewable—Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is critical for ensuring the safety, reliability, and efficiency of high-value assets. NDT techniques such as ultrasonic testing (UT), radiographic testing (RT), eddy current testing (ECT), and phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) are used to inspect turbines, boilers, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and structural components—without interrupting operations. These methods help detect fatigue cracks, corrosion, weld defects, and material degradation under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. By enabling early detection of potential failures, NDT supports condition-based maintenance, reduces downtime, and ensures compliance with industry standards such as ASME, ISO, and IEEE, ultimately extending asset life and improving plant performance.
