NDT Methods Notes

Visual testing (VT) is a non-destructive testing method that uses the human eye to inspect components for defects by illuminating the specimen with visible light. VT provides qualitative measurements and should be performed first before other testing methods. The human eye is most sensitive to yellow-green light and optimal inspections last no more than 2 hours continuously to avoid errors from visual fatigue.

1.

Reliability : Trouble free service given by any product may be termed as


Reliability.
2. Destructive testing are usually Quantitative measurements.
3. NDT tests are qualitative measurements.
4. Even though a component is to be inspected using other NDT methods, a
good visual inspection should be carried out first.
5. Procedure for Visual: Illumination of the test specimen with light usually in the
visible region. The specimen is then examined with eye or light sensitive
devices such as photocells.
6. The most valuable NDT tool is human eye.
7. Human eye is most sensitive to yellowgreen light which have a wave length
of 5560 Angstrom.
8. For VT adequate lighting i.e. 800-1000 lux is of prime importance.
9. While doing VT, it is limited to no more than 2 hours on continue basis to
avoid error due to decrease in visual reliability and discrimination.
