Few manufacturing processes are so standardised, automated, and
rigidly controlled that the product can be guaranteed perfect over
large-scale mass production. If structures are to be constructed to
meet design requirements and materials are to be used economically
and efficiently, some form of testing of the finished product will
almost certainly be necessary. Whenever production depends on human
skills, human errors creep in and faulty products occasionally
occur. With some small products, samples of production can be
extracted and physically tested to destruction without great cost
losses; proof tests can be done on a pressure vessel, or vibration
testing can be carried out to simulate service conditions, but on
many large structures such sampling or proof testing is virtually
impossible. Also, if one postulates occasional human errors,
sampling will not eliminate the defective items and on many
critical components and structures 100 % inspection is often
desirable. Non-destructive testing or inspection (NOT or NOI) are
the terms used to describe a wide range of testing techniques
designed to produce information about the condition of a specimen
without doing any damage to it: i.e. after the testing the fitness
of the specimen for use in service is unchanged.
