To read the December NewsletterVidisco’s XbitPro Database – The Ideal Tool for Recording and Archiving NDT X-ray Images
The NDT industry is based on the need to repeat certain types of NDT inspections at predetermined, regular intervals. Whether the item being inspected is a wing, fuselage, pipe, weld, electrical line or any other vital part of a system, international standards determine exactly what form inspections must take and at what intervals. These standards also state how long the images must be kept on record – in some cases up to 7 years. A company may be required to produce a certain X-ray image months or even years after an inspection. For this reason, an up-to-date archive is a must in the NDT industry.

How Does NDT Keep Ships Afloat? Those of you who have ever taken a cruise have probably wondered how such a huge vessel manages to stay safely afloat when crossing large bodies of water. Few are aware of the major role that NDT inspection plays in ensuring the vessels’ safety.
The ship building structure process includes two main stages: Production and NDT inspection of the ship’s countless welds. Both of these processes are very time consuming. With the aim of facilitating the production process, some shipyards have transferred to Laser Beam Welding. In some cases, this system enables the welding of plates of up to 30 meters at one time.
Thus, the welding time has been effectively shortened. But what can be done to facilitate the NDT inspection process?Read about why Inspecta (one of the largest providers of NDT services in Europe) Chooses Vidisco for Superior NDT X-ray Inspections. Find out What’s New at Vidisco, and take a look at the crystal clear “Image of the Month.”
