Independent testing group Exova has invested a six-figure sum in non-destructive testing (NDT) at its laboratory in Droitwich, Worcestershire.
The subcontract laboratory has installed the £109,000 Dürr HD CR43 digital radiography system. It will complement its existing traditional X-ray and gamma radiography facilities and ultrasonic and eddy-current technology.
Digital radiography systems — essentially a form of high-tech digital photography — are used across a range of industrial sectors and testing types including weld and casting inspections.
