Aplikácia nedeštruktívnych metód kontroly na zvarové spoje vyrobené z plastu

Abstract

The article describes the possibilities of non-destructive testing of welds made of plastic materials. Both surface and volume methods of non-destructive testing can be used for plastic welds. Non-destructive testing of plastics has certain limitations. The limitations are related to the physical-mechanical properties of the material, as well as the geometry of the tested parts. The most common inspection of welds on plastic materials is a visual inspection, which is carried out to the extent of 100 %. For the inspection of plastic welds, it is also possible to use the penetration method and, with limitations, also ultrasonic and radiographic inspection.
