Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Nondestructive testing (NDT) continues to play a leading role in a number of key industries. Core NDT technologies are evolving in important ways and are becoming increasingly user friendly. Applications for NDT also are expanding rapidly.

New industries that only recently have begun to use NDT techniques are becoming significant consumers of this technology. The potential market for nondestructive testing equipment continues to expand with emphasis on product quality, lean manufacturing, just-in-time inventory practices, advances in nanomaterials and related manufacturing and testing. This report identifies major industry movements and trends, and describes the present state of the NDT industry and the direction in which it is headed.

SCOPE OF STUDY

This report:

• Provides an overview of Nondestructive Testing (NDT) equipment, including a general overview and definitions
• Offers a detailed five-year market forecast discussing projected values and trends in the U.S.
• Profiles the major companies actively engaged in the development and manufacture of NDT equipment
• Analyzes recent and historical patent activity in order to provide the most up-to-date details on technology trends.

ANALYSTS CREDENTIALS

This report is an update of an earlier report prepared by Balaji (Bal) V. Patil. Dr. Patil received his Bachelor of Technology degree in metallurgical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, and an M.S. in Mineral Engineering and a Ph.D. in Chemical Metallurgy from Columbia University. He later joined Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corp., where he worked in the company' s R&D Center and received five corporate technical awards
