On Mendeleev’ birthday, 8 February, the Center of Dimension Reconstruction was opened at Tomsk Polytechnic University. The best non-destructive testing equipment developed by polytechnicers was gathered there.   “The center is equipped with facilities that literally enable to see through walls and even cement and metal. Additionally the equipment allows 3D-imaging of everything seen to identify production defects. This center is unparalleled as it brought together own developments of the university”: told TPU rector Petr Chubik at the opening. Along with the rector Deputy Governor for Science and Educational Complex Mikhail Sonkin attended the opening as well. He said that he “awaited true results”. “No doubt, it is pretty symbolically that another large, fundamental center of TPU is opened on Russian Science Day. It is dedicated to implement breakthrough non-destructive testing projects and we await true outcomes”: said the deputy governor. According the director of the Institute of Non-destructive testing Valery Borikov, the center will train professionals in inspection technology. Experts in non-destructive testing will take advanced courses, be certified as well. There is a X-ray microtomograph which is able to scan very small or critical objects with highest dimension. A medical small accelerator (betatron) is presented at the center too. “The basis of the device is a TPU development –betatron – an electron accelerator.  The Tomsk Cancer Research Center has already treated over 1.500 patients with the medical accelerator”: said rector. Besides medical devices the new center has facilities to scan large industrial objects. In one of the center premises valving fitments of Siberia Power pipeline are tested. “We were ordered to test fitments to reveal hidden defects, - said Valery Bo

Besides medical devices the new center has facilities to scan large industrial objects. In one of the center premises valving fitments of Siberia Power pipeline are tested.

“We were ordered to test fitments to reveal hidden defects, - said Valery Borikov. – Earlier it required to destruct an object and now we can simply scan it.”

He also added that the university is going to develop a Master’s degree course on non-destructive testing of complex objects.

The new center is located behind the 10th TPU building, on 2, Lenin ave, 32 building.
