Program:

Nondestructive Testing is essential to keeping aircraft flying in both the civil and military sectors. This is an opportunity to introduce or renew information on some methods and aspects of nondestructive testing to students and faculty at the Academy; to enhance awareness of nondestructive testing technology as applied in Colorado; and to introduce the Colorado Section of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) to the program and laboratories at the Academy.

We will start with a presentation by Ward Rummel on Nondestructive Testing and how it is used in civil applications and in assuring structural integrity of aircraft.

We will then join students and staff for a short tour of the laboratory facilities at the Academy and will adjourn at approximately 5:30 PM

The United States Air Force Academy and the Colorado Section of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing are neighbors and should be aware of the people, facilities and capabilities that share our joint interests. The Colorado Section of ASNT extends an invitation to both faculty and students to join our local section meetings and to participate in the national conferences of ASNT.
