NDT testing is used in quality control, to evaluate proper assembly of components, as well as joints and assembly integrity. NDT testing is also used by tire manufacturers to test steel-belted radial tires, and for other purposes.   Rail and Rolling Stock inspection for cracks with eddy current technology  Railroad wheel inspection with ultrasonic phased array technology  Rail axle, wheel and brake disk seats inspection with ultrasonic phased technology Radioscopic Wheel Inspection system Rail weld inspection
