Book Description -- Perform Accurate, Cost-Effective Product Testing -- 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.

About the Author -- Charles Hellier is Chairman of the Board of Directors at Hellier Associates (Niantic, Connecticut). He is the former President and current Chairman of the National Education Council of the American Society of Nondestructive Testing. Mr. Hellier is also a member of the Adhoc Select committee on Level III Certification Requirements.
The best one yet! -- 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.
