Advanced NDT Technology for Reliability and Productivity
The manufacturers of safety-critical engineering components require high-speed and high-reliability inspections to meet their production requirements. Whilst the end-users of these products demand the maximum sensitivity and coverage to ensure the highest safety during in-service operation. In this talk, the utilization of advanced NDE techniques to meet these competing demands will be presented. A number of case studies of advanced inspection technologies for different applications will be discussed. The case studies will range from: new manual scanner technology for in-service…

Welding and repair of stainless steel and nickel-base alloys used in high temperature service present many challenges. High temperature property requirements and service environment influence weld filler metal selection. Weld filler metal ferrite and use of fully austenitic welding materials contribute additional unique situations. Repairs and dissimilar welding also offer significant challenges. Each of these areas will be discussed and examples presented to illustrate and assist in resolving or preventing many welding related issues encountered in high temperature service. Webinar…

SFCW Ground Penetrating Radar- A paradigm shift in utility mapping Having accurate knowledge of subsurface/ underground/ buried utilities e.g. pipes, cables, drains is critical for any infrastructure project. The successful detection and mapping of buried utilities involves the combination of several techniques, the results of which are synthesized down to a single interpreted plot. The techniques and methodologies used will primarily depend upon the required outcome for the survey, the site conditions and the type of utilities being targeted. Ground…

Strong decarbonization targets undertaken by many countries has renewed focus on developing cleaner energy supply chain over the world. The past few years have seen a rapid increase in number of wind farms and new wind tower construction projects in and around Asia Pacific. The accelerated pace of wind tower construction needs high throughput and increased workflow productivity during inspection to keep pace with the fabrication. Phased Array Ultrasound Testing (PAUT) and Time of Flight diffraction (ToFD) are the primary…

Guided wave testing has been in the market for a number of years and provides an effective screening solution to identify areas on cross sectional defects along the length of a pipeline. The technique provides the most efficient method for covering large volumes of surface area and to help identify areas of concern for follow validation. GWT or LRUT uses ultrasonic wave forms transmitted down the length of the pipe to detect and interpret return signals for anomalies. Dr Paul…

Xavier Maldague is full professor at the Department of Electrical and Computing Engineering of Université laval, Québec, Canada (since 1989, Director of the Computing Engineering program 2002-2003, Director of the Department 2003-2008, also in 2018, January to March and 2023-24 June-Feb.). He has trained over 60 graduate students (M. Sc., Ph. D., postdoctoral level). His research interests are in infrared thermography, Non-destructive Evaluation (NDE) techniques and vision and digital systems for industrial inspection: he has set up a research group on Infrared Techniques for Non-destructive Evaluation with well-known international reputation and was awarded a prestigious Tier 1 - Canada Research Chair in that field in 2004, renewed in 2011, 2018. He authored or coauthored more than three hundred papers, several books, one patent on these topics. Two books he wrote are now part of the body of knowledge of the American Society for Non-destructive Testing (ASNT) on infrared NDE. He was also appointed technical editor for the first handbook of the ASNT on Thermal and Infrared Techniques (and also for the next edition due for 2024).
