[en] In this meeting on non-destructive testing in industry only 4 papers are based on nuclear methods, one on magnetography of offshore structures and one ultrasonic testing turbine rotors of 900 MW PWR

[en] The main topics of this meeting on nondestructive testing are: standard defects, ultrasonic testing, liquid penetrant inspection, thermography X, gamma and neutron radiography. Developments and equipment for testing heavy equipment, particularly in nuclear industry, are examined

[en] Ultrasonic inspection is one of the most widely used methods for nondestructive inspection. The beam of high-frequency sound wave, ultrasonic wave, is introduced into the material. It travels through the material with some attendant loss of energy and can be reflected at interfaces. The reflected beam is detected and analyzed. Ultrasonic inspection is used to detect flaws in metal parts as well as in welded, brazed and bonded joints during research work and developing production and service. It is also used to detect and locate porosity, pipe, and flakes. In addition, it can be used for the measurement of metal thickness. Ultrasonic inspection is therefore used for quality control and material inspection in all major industries

[en] This invention concerns suction pads for supporting loads. Specifically, the suction pad is part of a pair of pads located at the ends of a bridge forming a vehicle for transporting instruments for the non-destructive testing of a large vessel intended to contain a fuel assembly for a nuclear reactor immersed in a liquid metal coolant. For example, the vehicle is of the type described in the French patent application filed this day under the heading 'Vehicle for transporting instruments for testing against a wall'

[en] Although industry is becoming increasingly aware of the benefits to be derived from nondestructive testing, many of these same firms have yet to realize the importance and impact of effectively educating NDT personnel. The author outlines the history of NDT training in Canada, the types of programs available, the typical student profile, and who the target market could (and should) be. The author then discusses the effects of NDT training and education in Canadian industry

[en] The problem of incorrect judgement of the total contingent with complete tests, with reference to the truly produced reject part p not falling under the defined limit values, are explained. Here an exception is made to the definition according to DIN 1319. The gray zone of insufficient measuring accuracy and the resulting judgement errors for the subseqent process are spoken of. The question as to whether a certain incorrectly judged reject quota must be overcome and accepted, or whether it must be reduced using 'all possible means' through a very expensive and extensive measuring, can in individaul cases, only be answered by the respective quality planner, taking the specific factors into account. This report is an assistance for making such a decision. (orig.)

[en] Qualification schemes and staff certificates, non-destructive testing, the formation of non-destructive testing society in Malaysia, national center for isotope distribution, non-destructive-testing standard procedure and society of non-destructive testing contractor are discussed. (A.J.)

[en] The method and the device for optical synthesis of moving object tomographs are considered. The requirements for the conditions of obtaining cine-X-ray photographs from which tomographs are synthesized. Experimental results on the synthesis of the moving object tomographs are presented
