Mumbai, September 23,2013 /PRNewswire/ --

The 14th APCNDT is scheduled to be held from 18th to 22nd November, 2013 at Renaissance Convention Centre Hotel, Mumbai. This platform will bring together 1000 delegates from India and abroad, giving access to a highly technical group of professionals in the field of NDT alongwith the large number of exhibitors, participating to showcase their products providing an opportunity for one-to-one interaction to create awareness in the relevant segments of the latest development in the market.

With more than 12 different methods to test a component non-destructively, all engineering, shipping, nuclear, chemical and automobile sectors are employing this technology to monitor the quality of a product/process/plant during various stages of production and to take corrective remedial steps at any appropriate stage to improve productivity and bring out quality. As a matter of fact, all power generating units, be it nuclear or thermal, petro-chemical complexes or pipelines, have to necessarily undergo NDT to ensure public safety as per various standards and acts of parliament be it within India or outside. With many international automobiles, aerospace and nuclear energy projects coming to India, the demand for NDT technicians is on the rise. Oil and natural gas, shipping, aerospace, welding, foundry and forging industries are some of the other areas which are seeking NDT specialists. In India, Bureau of Indian Standards has established a certification scheme and has authorized Indian Society for Non-Destructive Testing (ISNT) to administer training and certification. ISNT, having 19 chapters spread across India, trains and certifies technicians of various levels and also conducts course exams for its American counterpart.

  • Prof. A.K. Rao Memorial Lecture
