(openPR) - Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), also called Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) and Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI), is the most effective and applied testing method of examining the integrity of an object, material or a system without reducing its longevity or causing damage to it. Due to the growing interest in Non-Destructive Testing techniques, SGS Industrial Services is pleased to invite to a free 60-minute webinar on Non-Intrusive Inspection of large and under support areas.

With the webinar ‘How to Inspect Areas Under Support and Large Areas in Non-Intrusive Inspection’ on October 18 and 19, SGS will inform participants how to sufficiently inspect areas under support and large areas for corrosion. Participants of the webinar will learn about material degradation in assets and the difference between conventional inspection techniques and large/under support area screening. Moreover, SGS will provide information on the inspection approach of SGS for large/under support area screening as well as introduction, code requirement and inspection approach for Non-Intrusive Inspection on the basis of interesting case studies.

The free 60-minute webinar, hosted by Ahmed Masood, Assistant Manager NDT, will be available across the globe in Asia, Europe, the Americas and Africa and will be available in four sessions to meet the needs of attendees in every time zone.
