TeraNIM - Aero Terahertz NDT for Low-Density Materials
Single-sided, non-contact terahertz inspection for low-density aerospace materials, composite structures, honeycomb, insulation materials and thermal protection coating structures.
Why Terahertz for Dielectric Material Inspection
Terahertz inspection reveals internal discontinuities, material density variation, bond anomalies and thickness variation in low-density dielectric materials.
Internal Discontinuities
Identify internal discontinuities within low-density aerospace structures.
Material Density Variation
Detect changes in material density and dielectric properties.
Debonding & Bond Anomalies
Identify debonding and bond anomalies at internal interfaces.
Thickness Variation
Measure thickness variation and review structural uniformity.
Structural Integrity
Use internal reflections to assess structural integrity and interface condition.
Non-Contact Inspection
Perform single-sided, non-contact inspection at predefined locations.
Terahertz Inspection for Low-Density Aerospace Materials
Non-contact THz inspection for ceramics, honeycomb, radome structures, insulation materials and thermal protection coating structures.
GFRP Composite Inspection
Non-contact GFRP thickness measurement and internal defect detection.
Thermal Barrier Coating Inspection
Non-contact TBC thickness measurement and hidden defect detection.
Red Rubber Inspection
Non-contact rubber thickness, bond integrity and hidden defect detection.
Silica Tile Inspection
Non-contact inspection of silica-based thermal protection materials and hidden defects.
Polymer-Based Rubber Inspection
Terahertz NDT for non-contact rubber thickness, bond integrity and quality control.
Inspect Internal Structures & Interfaces
THz pulses reflect from internal interfaces inside low-density aerospace structures. Time separation and amplitude changes reveal structural integrity, interface condition and hidden discontinuities.
How Terahertz Technology Works
THz pulses reflect from internal interfaces inside low-density aerospace structures. Time separation and amplitude changes reveal structural integrity, interface condition and hidden discontinuities.
SCAN
Single-sided, non-contact THz inspection at predefined locations.
DETECT
Identify reflections from the outer skin, bond line, core and inner structure. Detect debonding, cracks and thickness variation.
ANALYSE & REPORT
Generate inspection results for defect localization, structural uniformity review and report. Provide digital inspection outputs and clear reporting.
