Ñ At its November meeting, the Central
Indiana Section hosted guest speaker
Mark Adams, Midwest Regional Sales
Manager for Magnaflux. Adams, who has
been with Magnaflux since November
2023 and has over 25 years of experi-
ence in the NDT industry, delivered a
presentation on current and future tech-
nological developments in magnetic
particle testing (MT), his favorite method.
He also highlighted the value of incorpo-
rating databases and their role in remote
data retrieval, monitoring, program setup,
training, and audits. Adams noted that
while MT equipment is built to last indef-
initely, the continued use of older equip-
ment is preventing MT from entering into
NDT 4.0.

Ñ Guest speaker Dustin Davis from RDI
Technologies spoke at the Iowa Section’s
December meeting. Davis presented to
11 professional and student attendees,
and provided an overview of RDI’s propri-
etary Motion Amplification inspection
technique. He explained how their soft-
ware, paired with a high-speed camera,
can detect minute movements—down to
1 × 10–5 in. under ideal conditions and
reliably to 0.001 in., which are invisible to
the naked eye. This technology has been
applied across industries such as manu-
facturing, oil &gas, electronic component
production, and infrastructure moni-
toring, enabling continuous monitoring
of machines or structures under normal
operating conditions. Davis demonstrated
how each pixel of the camera acts as a
sensor, allowing users to quantify displace-
ment, vibration frequency, and motion
phase.

At the Saudi Arabian Section’s meeting last December, Paul Hillman from Eddyfi Technologies spoke with attendees about Eddyfi’s
latest AUT (automated ultrasonic testing) software designed to streamline the rapid inspection of pipeline girth welds both onshore
and offshore. The system accommodates multiple inspection techniques that can be performed independently or simultaneously in
a multi-channel setup, enabling the collection of all relevant data in a single pass of the weld.
