Abstract

Nondestructive testing (NDT) does rely heavily on human judgment and visual capability to identify any faults or defects on the specimen at the end of the process. Despite the fact that a human plays an important role on the reliability of the NDT test results, very little research work has been carried out to study the ergonomics and human factors in using various NDT methods. Among the wide variety of NDT methods, dye penetrant inspection, magnetic particles inspection, ultrasonic inspection, and eddy current inspection are four of the most commonly used NDT techniques in industry. In this chapter, several human factors that could affect the reliability of the tests are discussed and some recommendations are also provided to improve the tests. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
