NDT 4.0 & DICONDE Standards
NDT Exchange operates on strict compliance with **ASTM E2339 (DICONDE)** and **GDPR** frameworks, establishing a secure, vendor-agnostic environment for your critical asset records.
Understanding ASTM E2339 (DICONDE)
Historically, non-destructive testing (NDT) data has been locked behind proprietary vendor file formats. Moving data between systems led to loss of calibration parameters and context.
**DICONDE** (Digital Imaging and Communication in Nondestructive Evaluation) extends the medical DICOM standard to industrial testing. It packages raw NDT images/scans together with their measurement context in a standardized, cross-platform envelope.
No Vendor Lock-in
Seamlessly migrate scans between Evident, Waygate, and Zetec analyzers.
Preserved Calibration
A-scans and thickness grids keep velocity and angle metadata intact.
