NDT 2022
6-8 September 2022, The International Centre, Telford, UK
About the conference
There were three parallel technical sessions covering a broad range of NDT technologies and applications, as well as a social programme including a welcome buffet on the evening of 5 September and the BINDT Conference Dinner on the evening of 7 September.
Offers of papers are invited on all aspects of non-destructive testing.
The Materials Testing 2022 Exhibition (MT 2022) took place alongside the conference, with over 80 companies exhibiting. For more information about MT 2022, click here.
Visit the showcase of RCNDE research at NDT 2022
The UK Research Centre in Non-Destructive Evaluation (RCNDE) is an EPSRC and industry co-funded consortium of academic and industrial members focused on the inspection technology needs of the 21st century. The Centre has carried out world-leading research since 2003, for which it is known and respected globally.
RCNDE staged its second international ‘RCNDE Showcase’ event at NDT 2022, the Annual Conference of the British Institute of NDT, taking place from 6-8 September 2022, at the International Centre, Telford, UK. The showcase comprised over 45 presentations in Sessions A and B, running continuously throughout the conference, and presented research from the eight university members, including how the research will provide industrial benefits.
This is a unique opportunity for industry to learn about the most recent outputs from the research programme and understand the benefits of membership, either as a full end-user industrial member or as an associate member from the NDE supply chain. Aligned examples of ready-to-go technologies were also demonstrated on the RCNDE stand at the co-located Materials Testing 2022 exhibition.
The benefits and synergies of focusing research on cross-sector requirements are obvious and the industrial membership represents a significant proportion of the sectors requiring advanced NDE. However, some other sectors are yet to realise these benefits and, during the showcase event, RCNDE hopes to engage with potential new members and new sectors, that could benefit from the next phase – RCNDE 4.0. This follow-on phase is planned to have a broader TRL1-6 span of activities with a significant technology-transitioning element with alignment to the needs of the fourth industrial revolution – Industry 4.0.
