Non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) is a set of techniques commonly used to evaluate a material for the presence of any flaws without actually degrading the material itself. The Alternating Current Potential Drop (ACPD) test method is one of the NDT surface methods used to determine the electrically insulating defects beneath the surface by injection of currents in the structure and measurement of the resulting voltage difference between two or more points on the surface. The presence of defects generally increases the resistance of the structure and hence causes the drop of measured voltage. The inversion of this data can …
