Vibrant has installed an inline state of\u00a0the art PCRT system that detects the presence of unserviceable cracking and corrosion. The\u00a0system was approved after the customer conducted a metallurgical study that showed PCRT\u00a0had superior sensitivity to the defects of interest. The previously required UT inspection for\u00a0cracks and visual inspection for corrosion has been replaced by the new PCRT system.\u00a0Additional advantages of this PCRT application are that test cycle time is reduced to between 3\u00a0and 5 seconds, and the bolts require no cleaning prior to testing.<\/p>\n<h4>About Vibrant<\/h4>\n<p><em>Vibrant Corporation has commercialized Process Compensated Resonance Testing (PCRT) for\u00a0use 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\u00a0component is structurally sound and fit for service. Vibrant has developed PCRT applications\u00a0focused on the safety critical components found in the aerospace industry. These applications\u00a0bring the power of PCRT to bear on new product quality control and in-service product\u00a0degradation tracking. Vibrant is now performing testing services for several major aerospace\u00a0manufacturers and Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) firms.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vibrant Corporation\u2019s PCRT technology is being applied by a major US airline to conduct nondestructive testing of main landing gear wheel tie bolts.
