<h1>Use of GPR and industrial radiography as a NDT technique</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Abcndt.aspx'>Abcndt</a></strong><br /><p>You would definitely be interested to know what lies below your feet and under the ground. Especially if you are into a business related to construction or services related to infrastructure. If you are into any of the above mentioned disciplines, Ground Penetrating Radar services can be of great utility for you. You don’t in fact have to even buy it. You can order Ground Penetrating Radar services to visit your premises and the will send technicians along with the mobile equipment. They will collect a lot of data to provide you the precise underground information. With the help of the equipment they will produce high frequency radar sound waves and will map the area several meters below. The intelligent equipment is able to produce data by the waves which bounce back and reveal the contents and nature of the area. This data is then converted into the graphics format, which is used by many engineering applications. It can map the locations and presence of underground pipelines, gutters, voids, gaps, cracks and cavities if any. It can also help us know the nature of soil. For example, if we are planning to lay a pipeline, it will tell us what is beneath ten feet; is it sand, silt, or clay. It can also help us know the rebar location below the ground, so that we can continue our task without damaging any exiting construction below. The benefits of GPR and industrial radiography is that you do not have to rely upon the work someone else has done, which may not be that accurate and may not be according to what you require, so the best option is to conduct a GPR test yourself. Furthermore it is not restricted to detecting the presence of metals alone, it provides you an overall kaleidoscopic view of what is laying underground, which is what most of the engineers are concerned with, as the nature of projects varies they need their own GPR reports. The other way round is to start digging the whole ground, which is not only an expensive option but not so fruitful also, as it is restricted to the ground dug. Furthermore there are enormous chances of something getting damaged for which you might have to end up paying for. In radiographic testing an X-ray machine or a radioactive source is used to penetrate materials. So the thickness or composition of material is determined by the variation of radiation emitted and received at the other end. Magnetic Particle testing is also a non-destructive testing technique. </p><strong>About the Author:</strong><br />Abcndt.com Incorporated is certified as ASNT SNT TC 1A, Liquid Penetrant,Leak Testing Industrial Radiography, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.abcndt.com">NDT laboratories</a>.
