Short facts UV lamps (3): Safe handling of UV radiation
How to deal with UV radiation safely? An evaluation of the NDT workplace can show that appropriate measures need to be taken to ensure the best possible protection for employees. These protective measures can be: substitution, technical or organizational protective measures or the availability of
Penetrant testing: Energy saving in high volume processes
Doing penetrant testing of medium-sized series parts, such as in the automotive industry, the components are often transported through the testing process by carriers. In this way, a high output can be achieved. The single process steps are often done by means of immersion applications. Short facts UV lamps (2): Peripheral vision
Peripheral vision plays an important role in fluorescent magnetic particle and penentrant testing. This tutorial shows why, and how the ideal UV lamp supports the direct as well as the periheral, indirect viewing. If you missed our first tutorial “UV lamps for MT and PT
