African NDT Centre (Pty) Ltd.

African NDT Centre, also known as ANDTc, is a company situated in Pretoria that specializes in providing training and inspection services in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT).

ANDTc was established in 2003 by NDT Expert from France, to create a centre of excellence in NDT, involved with:

• Training, examinations and certification to international standards
• Inspection services to the aerospace industry
• Research and development
• Level 3 consultancy to all industry sectors

In 2007 Aerosud, a local company well established in the international aerospace industry, acquired a 50% shareholding in ANDTc.

What is Nondestructive testing?

Nondestructive testing (NDT) is a wide group of analysis techniques used in science and industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing damage.  Because NDT does not permanently alter the article being inspected, it is a highly-valuable technique that can save both money and time in product evaluation, troubleshooting, and research.

Common NDT methods include:

• Ultrasonic testing
• Magnetic-particle
• Liquid penetrant testing
• Radiographic testing
• Remote visual inspection (RVI)
• Eddy-current testing
• Optical interferometry

Possible application in Forensic engineering , Mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering, Civil engineering, Systems engineering, Aeronautical engineering, Medicine, and Art.
