Summary
  • Many engineers who rely on structures or components in the course of their work will know the importance of both quality control and in-service monitoring, to ensure effective and safe operation. Non-destructive testing techniques are vital in helping to achieve these aims.
  • This comprehensive update to the successful first edition focuses on the important field of industrial radiology, one of the most widely used techniques. As well as covering the principles behind industrial radiology it describes the methodology and applications of various techniques and the interpretation of results obtained.
  • The book includes completely new material on analysis of standards, the application of computers, computed tomography, processing and automated interpretation of digitized images, and backscatter methods. Industrial Radiology will be invaluable to quality control engineers, metallurgists, and non-destructive testing personnel in many areas of industry, as well as to academics studying defect assessment and behaviour in materials.
