Since working with\u00a0Sandia, Vibrant has earned FAA approval for inspection of turbine blades for exposure to\u00a0excessive operating temperatures using PCRT, creating new business opportunities for Vibrant,\u00a0commercial benefits for the partner companies, and cost savings to the aviation industry.<\/p>\n<p>The NMSBA profile of the PCRT project can be seen at:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nmsbaprogram.org\/client_highlights\/detail\/20\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.nmsbaprogram.org\/client_highlights\/detail\/20<\/a><\/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 and a team of companies (Mechatronic Solutions, Inc., Fiore Industries, and ZTEC Instruments) was awarded a 2010 NMSBA Innovation Award for PCRT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-company-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibrantndt.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibrantndt.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibrantndt.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibrantndt.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibrantndt.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibrantndt.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/999\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibrantndt.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibrantndt.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibrantndt.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
