Nondestructive testing has become the leading product testing standard, and Handbook of Non-Destructive Evaluations by Chuck Hellier is the unparalleled one-stop, A-to-Z guide to this subject. Covering the background, benefits, limitations, and applications of each, this decision-simplifying resource looks at both the major and emerging nondestructive evaluation methods, including: visual testing…penetrant testing…magnetic particle testing…radiographic testing…Ultrasonic testing… eddy current testing…thermal infrared testing…and acoustic emission testing. In clear, understandable terms, the Handbook shows you how to interpret results and formulate the right decisions based on them, making it a welcome resource for engineers, metallurgists, quality control specialists, and anyone else involved in product design, manufacture, or maintenance. The Handbook is also the ideal prep tool if you’re seeking certification in AWS/CSWIP, ASNT Level III, ACCP, and IRRSP programs. If you’re looking for a one-stop answer to all your nondestructive testing questions, your search ends here.

From the Back Cover
"Mr. Hellier is one of the most qualified individuals to write such a book . . . he is recognized in almost every country where NDE (Nondestructive Evaluation) is used." --M. J. Bergander Perform Product Testing That’s Both Accurate and Cost-Effective Here in one comprehensive reference, you’ll get a detailed, up-to-date discussion of today’s most commonly used as well as emerging methods of nondestructive testing. Written by a recognized expert in the field, the Handbook summarizes and evaluates the various ways to examine materials without destroying them or altering their structure. Written in clear, understandable terms, Handbook of Nondestructive Evaluation delves into the background, explanation, benefits and limitations, and application of every nondestructive method, including how it compares to destructive testing. You’ll also learn how to interpret results and formulate the right decisions based on them. A welcome resource for engineers, metallurgists, quality control specialists, and anyone else involved in product design, manufacture, or maintenance, the Handbook is also the ideal reference for those interested in obtaining their Level III Certification, ISO 9712 Certification, and the new ASNT/AWS Level II Certification. If you’re looking for a one-stop answer to all your nondestructive testing questions, your search ends here.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best one yet!,
By Scott Miller (Dhahran, Saudi Arabia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook of Nondestructive Evaluation (Hardcover)
Chuck Hellier has succeeded (with lots of help from other authors, I might add) in presenting the first updated handbook covering most all presently used methods of nondestructive testing (NDT). In one volume, he covers personnel certification issues and programs, discontinuities and their formation in metals, VT, PT, MT, RT, UT, ET, IR, and AE. As a person responsible for NDT training in a large company, I heartily welcome this addition to the body of knowledge for NDT. There are other works that cover theory in more detail, i.e. the ASNT handbook series, but this is the best publication to date giving a good introduction to NDT for aspiring technicians, engineers who might use, specify, or recommend NDT, or others interested in the field.The one area Chuck left out concerns ethics in NDT, which might necessitate an even larger volume, were he to address this with the same effort.
