Practical Non-Destructive Testing, 2nd Edition

Practical Non-Destructive Testing aims to cover the principles, procedures, applications,selection, limitations, codes and standards of all widely used non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques. Since the first edition (1996), there have been many new advances in the techniques used in NDT. In addition to updating of the first edition chapters, the new techniques added in this edition are

• Neutron Radiography
• Pulsed Eddy Current Testing
• Low Frequency Eddy Current Testing
• SQUID based Eddy Current Testing
• Mechanical Impedance Analysis
• POD concepts in NDT
