How do they match: Non-Destructive Testing Specialists

  • Test the safety of structures, vehicles, or vessels using x-ray, ultrasound, fiber optic or related equipment.

  • Develop or use new non-destructive testing methods, such as acoustic emission testing, leak testing, and thermal or infrared testing.
  • Evaluate material properties, using radio astronomy, voltage and amperage measurement, or rheometric flow measurement.
  • Examine structures or vehicles such as aircraft, trains, nuclear reactors, bridges, dams, and pipelines, using non-destructive testing techniques.
  • Identify defects in concrete or other building materials, using thermal or infrared testing.
  • Identify defects in solid materials, using ultrasonic testing techniques.
  • Map the presence of imperfections within objects, using sonic measurements.
  • Produce images of objects on film, using radiographic techniques.
  • Select, calibrate, or operate equipment used in the non-destructive testing of products or materials.
  • Visually examine materials, structures, or components for signs of corrosion, metal fatigue, cracks, or other flaws, using tools and equipment such as endoscopes, closed-circuit television systems, and fiber optics.

  • Select tools, equipment, or technologies for use in operations or projects.
