A recent case study shows that using Vidisco's digital radiography systems, a
shipyard managed to increase its production by more than 25%. There are
several reasons for the increase in productivity. Vidisco's high quality panels are
particularly sensitive; therefore they can produce great X-ray images with
reduced doses. In the shipyard, using Vidisco's DR systems means smaller area
closure, decreased facility shutdowns and, essentially, the ability to work around
the clock.
Vidisco just rel

Magnetic Analysis Corporation, a leader in nondestructive testing, is celebrating
85 years of designing and supplying innovative inspection instruments and
systems for metal manufacturers throughout the world.
Founded in 1928 in Long Island City, NY at a time when testing for quality
purposes usually meant laboratory "sampling" techniques which essentially
destroyed or altered part of the product being tested, MAC began working with
electromagnetic techniques to "nondestructively" test steel ba

The Pocket CORPAC™ detects active, localized corrosion
before costly damage and its effects are seen or felt. Real-
time corrosion monitoring identifies areas of concern be
detecting pitting and stress corrosion cracking (SCC), which
in turn can not only help prevent leaks or damage, but also
halt the spread of active localized corrosion.
In-service monitoring in high-temperature, high-noise
environments with Pock

Residual stress may be created during the manufacturing process of a material,
or it may accumulate in a structure over many years in operation. In either case,
this stress can have a serious negative effect on a product's quality, durability
and lifetime. Accurate detection of residual stress is an important element of
the quality control process and helps predict the service lifetime of products.
In the past, if you wanted to make highly accurate residual stress
measurements, you had to use a
