Greene Tweed achieves Nadcap accreditation for NDT

Kulpsville, Pa.-based Greene Tweed’s NDT lab has completed a Nadcap accreditation audit for NDT testing facility digital radiography of composite materials, utilizing a digital detector array (DDA).

The company has developed and implemented Xyscan® technology for complex-shape composite components that are impossible or impractical to evaluate using traditional NDT methods, such as ultrasonic. This technology provides 2-D and 3-D imaging to support detailed process validation, damage tolerance requirements, geometrical measurements, and production defect detection.

This accreditation, coupled with the investment in equipment and capability, enables the company to perform in-house DDA NDT of production composite hardware for commercial aircraft.
