This Month's Introduction

Contact-Free Ultrosonic Characterization and Analysis

This month's issue is not full of material characterization articles as was our intention. Instead, we have a variety of other interesting NDT topics. Our Quiz in RT Level 1-3 still offers plenty of chances to win a prize. For the drawing (end of June) your score doesn't matter, just try seriously to answer. The New Exhibition Database is ready with lots more features for exhibitors and readers.

NDTnet Launches New NDT Exhibition - Introduction New features with even more advanced database functions. Agfa Agrees to Acquire Krautkramer The Agfa-Gevaert Group (AGF), Mortsel/Belgium, and Emerson Electric Co., St. Louis, Missouri/USA, announced on April 24, 2000 that they have signed an agreement whereby Agfa will acquire the entire, worldwide Krautkramer Business from Emerson Electric Co., including Nukem Neutronics. CORDIS brought us 104 !!! News and Updates CORDIS is the European Community R&D Information Service. Advanced Ultrasonic Technique and Equipment for Residual Stress Measurement An Ultrasonic Computerized Complex (UCC) for residual stress measurement was developed recently in a joint project between Integrity Testing Laboratory Inc. from Toronto, Canada and the National Academy of Science of Ukraine. News for Standards Users from CSSinfo CSSINFO is proud to announce a new partnership with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), instantly download nearly 12,000 ASTM standards. Also new are, e.g. Structural Welding Code for Steel (AWS) and API 579 Fitness-for-Service. Know the latest fitness-for-service assessment techniques for pressurized equipment in the refining and chemical process industries. ASME News Online ASME News Online is the electronic version of the ASME International's monthly newspaper. We hope you enjoy this online publication Advanced Gauging Technology Krautkramer recently introduced the patented TopCOAT technique that simultaneously measures coating thickness for equipment protection and base metal thickness for mechanical integrity. Significant time and money are saved by not having to remove and reapply the coating to take measurements. Panametrics Product and Company News Please find the latest news and updates at "What's New". Physical Acoustics Corporation (PAC) announce the release of their new AE2A/AE5A Amplifier Systems This second-generation series of AE Amplifiers is ideal for the budget-minded, experimentalist who wants to analyze and understand his/her AE application in order to be able to specify properly a higher level AE instrument. Now...the digital breakthrough for weld inspection! Mini MagSteer (tm) is the world's first automated digital radioscopic imaging system with the high resolution required for weld inspection in steel, aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel. Derailed Train Explodes, Burns in Louisiana A Cargo Train carrying hazardous chemicals exploded and caught fire on Saturday after more than two dozen train cars derailed. Officials have not yet discovered what caused the 30 cars to leave the tracks. NDTnet Archive: Railway News - Railway Articles
