Non-destructive testing (NDT) covers all the techniques used to analyze something without causing damage. Most NDT methods use visual inspection or x-ray analysis. NDT has been used in a wide variety of fields, such as food, automotive, aerospace, and semiconductors. The goals of NDT include: Controlling product quality on the manufacturing line (machine vision) Checking the … Continue reading
Photonis introduces Neutronis™, the world’s first on-site neutron imaging system. Neutronis harnesses the power of neutron radiography to enable a new dimension for non-destructive testing. Neutron radiography uses a neutron beam to penetrate high density metals to examine internal structures and organic materials in exceptional detail. Neutrons interact with lighter elements to reveal what x-rays … Continue reading
Power line maintenance, especially of high voltage line with more than 10 km length, is a major stake for electricity infrastructure companies. In Europe, the electricity network is mainly aerial, not underground. Two European countries (Demark and Netherlands) have chosen to bury part of their power line for landscape improvement, even if this part remains small (respectively … Continue reading
With more than 100 million kilometers of power lines across the world and an increased dependency on energy supply, most countries are now facing the complex challenge of ensuring the continuity of electric service. It is critical for sensitive sites such as hospitals, nuclear plants, and industrial factories to avoid any breakdowns, even if some of these places … Continue reading
