NEW project aims to revolutionise manufacturing
A £1.4 M pioneering new project examining how ultrasonic imaging can be delivered remotely aims to revolutionise the quality of manufacturing processes.
The three-year project, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is aiming to develop a new capability for real-time, remote ultrasonic imaging that can be used for non-destructive evaluation in industry.
EPRI High-Temperature Sensor workshop
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) held a Workshop on Technologies for Advanced NDE at High Temperatures on 30th September to summarise the state-of-the-art for performing inspections at more than 350°C. The aim was to build a network of vendors and technology researchers to facilitate collaborations in this area, with future nuclear builds being a key driver.

ARTICLE – NDT: The Unsung Hero
Professor Robert Smith, Director of RCNDE, explains the crucial role that NDT plays in our every day lives in an article written for Quality Magazine. While its influence is evident now, he stresses how it will continue to be pivotal in the future, playing a central role in the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0: “NDT will make greener air, land and sea travel possible and affordable by increasing confidence in structural design, allowing lighter-weight structures and reducing fuel consumption.”
