Biannual collaborative events and a new standard are helping companies that make or use nondestructive testing (NDT) equipment with their efforts to evaluate whether those systems have interoperable data that can be shared and analyzed. These efforts ultimately help support safety and performance of products and parts for industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, rail, and other…, “Connect-a-thon” Events, The nondestructive testing committee (E07) is holding biannual “connect-a-thon” events for those who use “digital imaging and communication in nondestructive evaluation” (DICONDE). These open forums – held in conjunction with the committee’s regular January and June meetings – allow DICONDE software developers to network and learn from each other. “Many NDT system providers have found success…, New Standard, A new standardized practice ( E3147 ) from the committee will be used to help evaluate, verify, and validate whether a system complies with DICONDE interoperability. It applies to radiographic, ultrasonic, and eddy current examination instruments and systems. Ferro notes that the standard aims to help archiving and perform analytics for various types of NDT data coming from many inspection…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kathleen Chalfin, tel +1.610.832.9717; kchalfin@astm.org Release #10507
