1. INTRODUCTION
- Non-destructive testing (NDT),
- Non-destructive examination (NDE),
- Non-destructive inspection (NDI)
- Family of specialized technical
- inspection methods which provide
- information about the condition of
- materials and components without
- destroying them
4
- The term (NDT) is generally applied to
- non - medical investigations of material
integrity. - NDT examines actual production pieces and reveals
the presence of flaws which can be evaluated
against accept / reject criteria
5
- NDT Applications
- NDT is used in a variety of
- settings that covers a
- wide range of industrial
- activity
- Automotive
- Engine parts
- Frame
- Aviation / Aerospace
- Airframes
- Power plants Space frames
- Jet engines
- Rocketry
6
- Petrochemical
- Pipelines
- Storage tanks
- Miscellaneous
- Amusement park rides
- Construction
- Structures
- Bridges
- Manufacturing
- Machine parts
- Nuclear engineering
- Pressure vessels
7
- Modern nondestructive tests are used by
manufacturers to - Ensure product integrity, and in turn,
reliability - Avoid failures, prevent accidents and save human
life - Make a profit for the user
- Ensure customer satisfaction and maintain the
manufacturer's reputation - Aid in better product design
- Control manufacturing processes
- Lower manufacturing costs
- Maintain uniform quality level
- Ensure operational readiness
8
- NDT Methods
- There are several established NDT methods
currently in industrial use. - New methods are being constantly researched and
developed, and many of the established ones have
their effectiveness and efficiency enhanced by
conversion to electronic, computerized, or
robotic operation. - Five basic methods
- Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
- Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
- Radiographic Testing (RT)
- Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
- Eddy Current Testing (ET).

2.0 CHALLENGES AND ISSUES
- Establishment of clear national policies and
regulations - Acceptance by decision-makers integration into
national science system - Technology transfer mechanisms
- Relevance and appropriateness of technologies
- Quality management and control
- New management approach and management skills
10
- Organizational transformation
- Market intelligence keeping up to date with
scientific / technological changes - Clear programme plans and business plans with
quantified objectives - Confidence building
- Communication sharing of information
- Satisfaction of needs and interests of all
stakeholders - Establishment of alliances
11
- Relationship between research, development and
commercial activities - Ethics in all activities
- Maintained credibility
- Weak manufacturing facilities
- Weak standard and safe infrastructure
- Engineering and technical education without NDT
content - Technical personnel lacks necessary skills
12
3.0 INDICATORS OF SUSTAINABILITY FOR NDT
FACILITIES
- Legal Sustainability
- Institutional Sustainability
- Sustainable Physical Facilities
- Sustainable Financial Resources
- Sustainable Human Resources
13
4.0 OPPORTUNITIES
- The issues and challenges could be best
interpreted as opportunities for ensuring safe
engineering components and systems, and hence, a
sustainable development. - Such opportunities include
- NDT education and research,
- training and certification
- sales and services of NDT equipment, devices and
consumables
14
- Transportation, storage and handling of NDT
equipment and accessories - Production of qualified and certified personnel
that would be gainfully engaged in the various
related economic activities.
15
5.0 CONCLUSION
- Nigeria needs a vibrant oil, gas and other
industrial sectors anchored on sound, home-grown,
human and technological initiatives, - Nigerian Content Development
- NOT limited to BUILDING CAPACITY
- BUT create
- opportunities for Nigerians
- and thus enhance sustainable
- development for economic self reliance
