Publisher's Synopsis
A handbook written in recognition of the general lack of information concerning the many NDE methods, their applications and limitations in connection with condition monitoring.;The development of non-destructive examination techniques, such as X-rays, ultrasonics, dye penetrant methods were employed to detect defects which had occured in connection with or as a consequence of manufacturing processes.;As the demand for manufacturing controls increased the choice of method and procedures as well as acceptance and classification criteria became well-defined and are today fixed to a large degree by means of national and international standards.;The methods described in the handbook can be applied in the machine and processing industry in the widest possible sense.
