NDT in Our Daily Lives

NDT systems play an important role in our lives. The bridge you cross daily needs to be checked to make sure that the concrete and steel are still in good shape. Car tires and train wheels have to be checked before they leave the factory to make sure they do not have any weak spots. Miles of oil and gas pipelines must be inspected to ensure their integrity while they are exposed to harsh operating environments.

GE Inspection Technologies helps its customer achieve these complex tasks. We offer radiographic, ultrasonic, eddy current and other inspection solutions that test the structure and tolerance of materials without damaging them. For example, more than 80% of all passenger aircrafts in the world are inspected and tested with systems provided by GE Inspection Technologies.
