It is particularly useful for evaluating <strong>thicknesses<\/strong> and identifying <strong>inclusions, cracks,<\/strong> or <strong>melt failures<\/strong>. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Radiography (RT):<\/strong> Uses <strong>ionizing radiation<\/strong> to obtain <strong>internal images<\/strong> of structures and materials. It is effective for highlighting <strong>internal or surface discontinuities<\/strong> and evaluating <strong>the quality of welds<\/strong>. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Magnetoscopy (MT):<\/strong> It is applied to <strong>ferromagnetic materials<\/strong> and allows the detection of <strong>surface or sub-surface defects<\/strong> through the <strong>magnetic flux dispersed<\/strong> by a discontinuity that causes the aggregation of magnetic powders at that point.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Liquid Penetrant (PT):<\/strong> This method is used to detect <strong>surface defects<\/strong> on <strong>non-porous materials<\/strong>. Through the application of a <strong>penetrating liquid<\/strong>, <strong>cracks and porosity<\/strong> can be highlighted. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Thermography (TT):<\/strong> Uses <strong>heat emission detection<\/strong> to identify <strong>thermal anomalies<\/strong>, often used for <strong>energy performance monitoring<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Skills and certifications<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technicians who perform CnD must be trained and certified<\/strong> according <strong>to internationally recognized standards<\/strong>, such as the <strong>International Organization for Standardization (ISO)<\/strong> according to the <strong>ISO9712 standard<\/strong>.
