A Basis for Traceable NDE Standards
نویسندگان
چکیده
The National Bureau of Standards (NBS) is beginning to provide a mechanism for traceability for a number of NDE measurement procedures, an activity that is expected to have a significant, positive impact on the reproducibility and accuracy of NDE measurements. Much of the NDE standards activity has been in ultrasonics and acoustic emission, this effort leading to calibration services for ultrasonic reference blocks and ultrasonic and acoustic emission transducers. Additional NDE standards are also available or are being developed in radiography, eddy currents, magnetic particles, liquid penetrants and visual testing.

The National Bureau of Standards program in acoustic-ultrasonic calibrations and standards, aimed at solving some of the immediate problems, is reviewed. l~ork on acoustic emission tr~nsducers is.directed at the determination of sensitivity and spectral response by the use of a reproduc1ble stress 1mpulse. Also in the area of acoustic emission is a program to develop a theoretical basis for aco...
متن کاملDoes the arousal system contribute to near death experience?
The neurophysiologic basis of near death experience (NDE) is unknown. Clinical observations suggest that REM state intrusion contributes to NDE. Support for the hypothesis follows five lines of evidence: REM intrusion during wakefulness is a frequent normal occurrence, REM intrusion underlies other clinical conditions, NDE elements can be explained by REM intrusion, cardiorespiratory afferents ...

The development of security requirements for an information technology (IT) system implies some specific needs. For example, the requirements generally should be traceable to some underlying business driver. Additionally, in certain environments the requirements may need to be traceable to a standard or set of standards. We find several examples of this in the financial community. Soon the heal...

NDE is now a relatively mature field and, even though accurate characterization of hidden flaws may still pose a challenge, the last century has been marked with the most incredible progress. The majority of the current NDE methods were introduced around the middle of this century and the followed modifications, improvements and enhancement contributed to an unprecedented advancement in capabil...
