Stadtmarketing Wels ict Congress 2012 - Welcome Welcome Industrial X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a method whose relevance has increased more and more because of its great advantages. CT is a non-destructive method for measuring components 3-dimensionally in order to find hidden errors (e.g. shrink-hole, cracks, inclusions, pores, etc.) in the depth of the material and to determine physical variables like porosity and density. CT allows the inspection and measurement of hidden and inaccessible specimen characteristics, which is not possible with other techniques. Due to the increasing dispersion of industrial CT, the method development and application areas are being spurred on at a fast pace. The presentations of this conference will give insight on the newest developments as well as the established methods. Organiser University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, Campus Wels in cooperation with the ÖGfZP (Austrian Association for non-destructive Testing), DGZfP (German Assocication for Non-destructive Testing), SGZP (Swiss Association for Non-destructive Testing) and DGM (German Association for Material Science). Conference Language English Location Anyone who appreciates straightforward and friendly attitudes as well as comfort, culture and a beautiful, historic setting is sure to feel at home in Wels. Wels is a real treasure at the heart of Austria - and will give you a warm welcome!
