Nondestructive Testing无损检测
Nondestructive testing is a set of inspection methods used to detect cracks, corrosion, delamination, or other defects without damaging the part or structure being examined. In aerospace localization it appears in maintenance manuals, inspection procedures, repair specifications, and quality audit documentation, often abbreviated as NDT and covering methods such as ultrasonic, eddy current, radiographic, and penetrant inspection; results determine whether a component can remain in service.

Where this term appears
This term appears in non-destructive testing procedures, training materials, inspection reports, and MRO work orders. Translators often handle tables listing defect types, acceptance criteria, and equipment settings, so terminology and measurement units must remain consistent. In maintenance localization, NDT content is usually reviewed by technical specialists because inspection thresholds directly affect airworthiness decisions and repair instructions.
Translation checks
A frequent error is translating NDT method names too loosely, for example rendering “eddy current testing” as “electric current testing” or “magnetic testing,” which can point technicians to the wrong procedure. Another is treating acceptance criteria as general guidance rather than pass/fail thresholds, which may allow defective components to remain in service or cause unnecessary repairs.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check procedure sequence, part names, limits and cautions against the supplied references. Applicable aviation or market requirements depend on the product and project pathway.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
