Answer as many questions as you like about a scenario you wish to have a technique recommended for.

You do not need to answer all of the questions in all of the categories, but by entering as much information as possible the recommendations will be refined. Thus, if you only answer the first question ("situation"), then all techniques will be recommended! Answer more questions to provide further information about your scenario, and hence obtain a shorter list.

Click on a question to enter an answer to that question. If you can't see the names of the questions, click on a category name to reveal the questions in that category. Once you have answered the question you can go on to another question/category.

To leave a question unanswered simply don't click on any of the options in that question. If you want to leave a question blank that you have already answered, click the Clear button. If you wish to remove all answers to previous questions, click the Clear All button.

When you click the View Results button you will be presented with a ranked list of NDT techniques considered applicable to your scenario. The percentage "score" given for each technique is an indication of how well the technique should perform on your scenario. By clicking on an item from this list you will be able to view the information stored on that inspection technique.

Scoring reports can be obtained for any technique currently included in the IKB. These reports give, for the selected technique, the individual scores obtained for each answer you have provided. (These individual scores are multiplied together to obtain the overall score for the technique which is shown in the ranked list of recommended techniques).

To obtain a scoring report, first obtain a list of recommended techniques, then select the technique you are interested in from the drop down list at the bottom of the page, and then click the View Report button.

If you are using Internet Explorer, you can also obtain a scoring report for any of the techniques in the recommended list by clicking on the scoring report picture given for each each technique.
