Iowa Demonstration Lab for NDE Capabilities

The Iowa Demonstration Laboratory is equipped with a variety of commercially available instruments to facilitate transfer of the technology from the IDL to industry. This equipment centers around visual, liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, x-ray, ultrasonic, and eddy current inspection, which are the six most commonly used NDE methods. Portable equipment is available for all methods except x-ray, permitting demonstrations of the equipment in the field.

X-ray computed tomography and other advanced NDE capabilities are also available at CNDE. Additional capabilities, such as microwave imaging and magnetic-property measurement, are available through the Ames Laboratory, a US Department of Energy facility, and other Iowa State University resources.
