The conference is organised by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) and will consist of three parallel technical sessions covering a broad range of non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies and applications. This will see experts in NDT meet to exchange experiences, ideas and the very latest developments that will shape the future of NDT.
What’s included?
Full-time registration includes attendance at all conference sessions, entrance to the MT 2024 exhibition, proceedings USB, coffee breaks, lunches, Monday welcome buffet and Wednesday evening conference dinner. Full-time registration can be purchased with or without the Tuesday evening social event.
RCNDE Showcase
RCNDE will stage its third international ‘RCNDE Showcase’ event at NDT 2024. The showcase will run continuously throughout the conference and will present research from the eight university members including how the research will provide industrial benefits.
MT 2024
The Materials Testing Exhibition (MT 2024) will run alongside the NDT conference, with over 70 companies expected to exhibit and promises to be bigger and better than ever. MT 2024 is free of charge for visitors, who will benefit not only from a concentration of materials testing innovation and excellence but also from an enhanced programme of talks and seminars in the exhibition hall, covering practical aspects of NDT and related technologies.
Hotel accommodation
A choice of accommodation is available for delegates attending either the conference or the exhibition. Both the Holiday Inn and International Hotel are within a minute’s walking distance of the conference and exhibition venue and the Ramada Hotel is within a 15-minute walking distance. The discounted rates can only be guaranteed until Friday 9 August 2024. Limited spaces are available, reserve your space at https://www.bindt.org/events-and-awards/ndt-2024/delegate-accommodation/
Don’t miss the opportunity to meet the industry’s key players and learn about the very latest NDT technology and services available from around the world at the 61st Annual British Conference on NDT from 3-5 September 2024.
Registration is now open for the 61st Annual British Conference on Non-Destructive Testing, taking place from 3-5 September 2024 at The International Centre, Telford, UK.

About BINDT
The British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) is a UK-based professional engineering institution working to promote the advancement of the science and practice of non-destructive testing (NDT), condition monitoring (CM), diagnostic engineering and all other materials and quality testing disciplines. Internationally recognised, it is concerned with the education, training and certification of its members and all those engaged in NDT and CM and through its publications and annual conferences and events it disseminates news of the latest advances in the science and practice of the subjects.

What are NDT and CM?
Non-destructive testing is the branch of engineering concerned with all methods of detecting and evaluating flaws in materials. Flaws can affect the serviceability of a material or structure, so NDT is important in guaranteeing safe operation as well as in quality control and assessing plant life. The flaws may be cracks or inclusions in welds and castings or variations in structural properties, which can lead to a loss of strength or failure in service. The essential feature of NDT is that the test process itself produces no deleterious effects on the material or structure under test. The subject of NDT has no clearly defined boundaries; it ranges from simple techniques such as the visual examination of surfaces, through the well-established methods of radiography, ultrasonic testing and magnetic particle crack detection, to new and very specialised methods such as the measurement of Barkhausen noise and positron annihilation spectroscopy.
Condition monitoring (CM) aims to ensure plant efficiency, productivity and reliability by monitoring and analysing the wear of operating machinery and components to provide an early warning of impending failure, thereby reducing costly plant shutdown. Condition monitoring originally used mainly vibration and tribology analysis techniques but now encompasses new fields such as thermal imaging, acoustic emission and other non-destructive techniques. The diagnostic and prognostic elements, in addition to increasingly sophisticated signal processing, is using trends from repeated measurements in time intervals of days and weeks.
