Tapping in to NDT<\/h2>\n

A new non-destructive testing technique based on resonant frequency response\u00a0promises to revolutionise the way we check the integrity of critical components \u2013\u00a0and predict their behaviour in service.<\/p>\n

Anyone who\u2019s worked in quality control in a high-pressure production department will\u00a0confirm that it\u2019s hard to please all the interested parties, all the time. Scrapping components\u00a0or semi-finished materials can impose crippling costs in terms of materials and more\u00a0significantly wasted \u2019value?added\u2019 work; thorough testing can be very time consuming and\u00a0impose impractical lead times; faulty components in service can cost money \u2013 and lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A new non-destructive testing technique emerging from a partnership which has developed\u00a0under the wing of AMRC, addresses these problems. Vibrant Corporation\u2019s Process\u00a0Compensated Resonance Testing (PCRT) provides environmentally friendly, cost-effective\u00a0and fast reporting on the structural integrity of components. It eliminates the disadvantages\u00a0of statistical sampling, picks up hidden flaws more effectively than conventional NDT,\u00a0delivers feedback on process capability, and provides peace of mind by predicting the\u00a0behaviour of parts in service.<\/p>\n

About Vibrant<\/h4>\n

Vibrant is a spin off of Mechtronic Solutions, Inc. that has commercialized Process Compensated Resonance\u00a0Testing (PCRT) for use in the aerospace and power generation industries. The PCRT technology, licensed from\u00a0Magnaflux Quasar, is a revolutionary non-destructive testing technology that can determine if a component is\u00a0structurally sound and fit for service. Vibrant has developed PCRT applications focused on the safety critical\u00a0components found in the aerospace industry. These applications bring the power of PCRT to bear on new product\u00a0quality control and i-service product degradation tracking. Vibrant is now performing testing services for several\u00a0major aerospace manufacturers and Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) firms.<\/em><\/p>\n

About Vibrant NDT Ltd<\/h4>\n

Vibrant NDT Ltd is the UK joint venture between British NDT Company Johnson and Allen and Vibrant Corporation\u00a0in the United States. The company is commercializing Process Compensated Resonance Testing (PCRT) throughout\u00a0the United Kingdom. The PCRT technology, licensed from Magnaflux Quasar, is a revolutionary non-destructive\u00a0testing technology that can determine if a component is structurally sound and fit for service. Vibrant NDT Ltd has\u00a0developed PCRT applications in the aerospace, automotive, tooling, and power generation industries. These\u00a0applications bring the power of PCRT to bear on new product quality control and in-service product degradation\u00a0tracking. www.vibrantndt.co.uk<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
