NDT stands for Non-Destructive Testing — a group of inspection methods used to evaluate materials, welds and structures for defects without damaging them or taking equipment out of service.
Common NDT methods include ultrasonic, eddy current, magnetic particle, dye penetrant and visual inspection. Each suits particular materials, defect types, access conditions and acceptance criteria; an NDT result applies to the stated scope and does not by itself establish fitness for service.
