 | Advances in Videoscope Technology
Borescope and videoscope technologies have advanced dramatically since their beginnings. As such, a refresher of borescope technology evolution may be in order.
|
 | Fast Flaw Detection
Ultrasonic flaw detection has been a valuable quality assurance tool for decades. Since the 1940s, inspectors have used the laws of physics that govern the propagation of sound waves through solid materials to detect hidden cracks, voids, porosity and other internal discontinuities in metals, composites, plastics and ceramics.

 | Magnetic Particle Inspection Explained
Magnetic particle inspection is a nondestructive test method that provides for the detection of linear, surface and near surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic (material that can be magnetized) test materials.
|
 | Easier Hardness Testing
Hardness testing is an important part of quality and many factors need to be considered for this type of test, as seemingly small factors—thickness, size, location—can have a big impact.
|
 | Rockwell Standard Revealed
The long awaited ASTM E18-07 Rockwell Hardness Standard has been released. While it is technically similar to the older version, some changes affect both users and service providers.
|
 | Quality 101: Nondestructive Testing
Nondestructive testing (NDT), or nondestructive evaluation (NDE), is a method of materials testing that assesses the characteristics of a component without altering or destroying it.

Back to Basics: Industrial Computed Tomography
Industrial computed tomography (CT) is a unique nondestructive evaluation technique for inspecting interior structures of test objects. While computed tomography has long been used by radiologists for medical diagnostics applications, industrial CT brings the same technique to inspection applications.

From the Editor: On the Road
Once again, business trips led me to Florida and Michigan. A recent Thursday and Friday were spent in Lake Buena Vista, FL, and on Monday I was back at the airport at dawn for my flight to Detroit.

Motion Control Makes Testing Easier
For an ISO 10328 test system, Orion Test Systems & Engineering Inc. chose RMC75 two-axis motion controllers manufactured by Delta Computer Systems Inc. to excersice the device under test.
