The Criticality of Industrial Inspection
The productivity and cost effectiveness of any industry is dependent on the level of working efficiency that the industry enjoys. This is true for Automotive and Aerospace Industries as much as for Nuclear, Petrochemical, Power and Pharmaceutical Industries. Maintenance inspection is the only method by which higher efficiencies can be enjoyed by any industry and industrial failures and breakdowns be brought to the lowest possible level. In a running industry, non-destructive method of testing or NDT is the only viable form of maintenance inspection practiced as the majority of industries run round the clock. NDT being practiced by industries generally fall within the confines of Eddy Current Testing, Magnetic Testing, Dye Penetrant Testing, Radiographic Testing and Ultrasonic Testing. The first of the two most important areas that require to be tested relate to turbine inspection in respect of Power Generation, Nuclear and Aerospace Industries. The second most important area relates to pipeline inspection in respect of almost all industries but especially the Refining & Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, and Nuclear and Power Generation Industries.
