AIC 2nd year anniversary


Dear Honorable Members,

We are glad to inform you all that this portal, www.AsiaInspectionCommunity.com (AIC) will be celebrating its 2nd year soon. This web portal was launched on 11th November 2006 and till to-date (16th Sept, 2008) we have managed to gather a total of 485 registered members. Though, most of our members are inactive but we are optimistic that things will be improving as we move forward. Thank you to you all, for all the supports and contributions to our portal throughout the past years. Thank you to all who have contributed their ideas and opinions over the forum. All ideas and opinions are very much appreciated.

In conjunction to this, the followings have been planned for AIC and all members to commemorate this special event:-
1) AIC Get-Together Event ‘08
2) AIC 2 years anniversary T-Shirt/F1-Shirt
3) AIC 2 years anniversary Baseball Cap


Though, all these are subjected to feedbacks and responses from all members. We would like all members to suggest a suitable venue and date for our 1st official Get-Together and we would also like our members to propose some designs for the T-Shirt/F1-Shirt and Cap. This can be done over the forum by responding to this topic or by sending me Private Message (PM). We will advise on the cost of each item, once we have them confirmed and finalized.

Thank you very much and optimistically looking forward for feedbacks from you all.

Best regards,

Roleplay  Nondestructive Testing (NDT) Educational Resources Reply to this News Item Print this Topic E-Mail this Topic

Asia Inspection Community Announcements NDT Related Educational Info and Related Sites

Nondestructive Testing
Nondestructive testing is a career field that is relatively obscure in the minds of the general public. The name seems totally self-explanatory, but most NDT professionals can relate to the experience of trying to explain what nondestructive testing means to family members, friends and acquaintances. Most students when considering career options are completely unaware that NDT is a very exciting and rewarding career field.

NDT on Wikipedia
Nondestructive testing (NDT), also called nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and nondestructive inspection (NDI), is testing that does not destroy the test object. NDE is vital for constructing and maintaining all types of components and structures. To detect different defects such as cracking and corrosion, there are different methods of testing available, such as X-ray (where cracks show up on the film) and ultrasound (where cracks show up as an echo blip on the screen)

Introduction to NDT Technologies

An Introduction to Ultrasonic Thickness Gaging
Ultrasonic thickness gaging is a widely used nondestructive test technique for measuring the thickness of a material from one side. Just about anything made out of metal, plastic, composite, ceramic, glass, fiberglass, or rubber can be measured with easy-to-use, hand-held instruments.

# An Introduction to Ultrasonic Flaw Detection
# An Introduction to Ultrasonic Phased Array Technology

Introduction to Radiographic Testing
A section from the NDT Resource Center website, based at Iowa State University. This section provides a detailed introduction to radiography as used in nondestructive testing. Topics include: history and future direction, the physics of radiography, equipment and materials, techniques and calibrations, and advanced techniques (including computed tomography and XRSIM - X-ray Inspection Simulation).

Ultrasonic Testing
This website is provided by the NDT Resource Center. An illustrated tutorial outlining ultrasonic testing is available which includes information on the basic principles, the physics of ultrasound, equipment, techniques and calibration, and also detailed example applications such as rail inspection.

Under Pressure, Vanadium Won't Turn Down the Volume (March 7, 2007)
Scientists using the Advanced Photon Source have discovered a new change in the form of vanadium, a metal that is extremely important in the industrial world as an additive that makes steel exceptionally strong, resistant to metal fatigue, and ideal for applications such as jet turbine blades that can withstand high speed and abrasion.
