NDT Industry News & Updates

The International Standards Organization has released updated guidelines for phased array ultrasonic testing, improving detection capabilities for critical components. These new standards will enhance inspection accuracy in aerospace and energy sectors, ensuring higher safety standards across industries. MFARS Global is already implementing these updated protocols in our training programs.

Industry reports indicate a 15% increase in demand for NDT Level III consultancy services, particularly in the energy and aerospace sectors. This growth is driven by stricter safety regulations and the expansion of infrastructure projects worldwide. MFARS Global has responded by expanding our Level III consultancy team to meet this growing market need.

A new AI-assisted eddy current system for heat exchanger tubes has demonstrated significant improvements in inspection speed and accuracy. This technology uses machine learning algorithms to identify defects with greater precision, reducing false calls and unnecessary tube plugging. MFARS Global is now offering training on this cutting-edge technology.

A new compact in-situ metallography testing kit allows for on-site material analysis without component removal, saving time and costs. This innovation is particularly valuable for power plants and refineries where equipment downtime is extremely costly. MFARS Global technicians have successfully implemented this technology in recent field projects.

Advances in manufacturing have made digital radiography systems more affordable, allowing smaller companies to upgrade from film-based systems. This technology shift improves inspection efficiency while reducing environmental impact through elimination of chemical processing. MFARS Global now offers digital radiography training at all our facilities.
