Annual Conference and Exhibition hosted by the American Society For Nondestructive Testing (ASNT Annual Conference) is a premier international event which traditionally attracts thousands of NDT representatives from all over the world. OKOndt GROUP™ is a permanent attendee of the ASNT exhibitions, this year the specialists from our group of companies arrived to the USA to take part in this forum for the sixth time. ASNT-2019 took place in Las Vegas; in order to allocate numerous exhibits two stages were assigned: the Pavilions and the Paradise Event Center where our booth was located. The Conference was held on November 18-20. 

We represented our company together with the employees of the American office of OKOndt Group LLC and the distributor in the USA—NOMO Group Inc.

Our team took the following products to Las Vegas:

• Equipment for nondestructive testing of rails: ultrasonic single rail trolley UDS2-77, kit for the rail welded joints testing USR-01.
• Equipment for pipe welds testing— the TOFD-Man Wireless System.
• Popular portable multipurpose flaw detectors: Sonocon B, Eddycon C.
• Thickness gauge ExScan1000.
• New products developed by our specialists: Sonocon BL and Eddycon CL.

ASNT-19 included not only demonstration of the equipment, but also an overwhelming information program which included keynotes and presentations made by the participants of the Conference, plenary sessions and work in sections. OKOndt GROUP™ had prepared and delivered for their colleagues and customers from the USA, Canada and South America the seminar titled «Universal Flaw Detectors of OKOndt GROUP™», «Flaw Detection at Rail Track Inspection». If you are interested we invite you to read about eddy current testing of rails and optimization of rails flaw detection in detail. After the lecture our experts invited the seminar attendees to our booth which was located in the neighboring row to the Innovation Forum meeting room so they could see the discussed during the seminar equipment in the process of work.

During all three days of exhibition our booth was actively visited by the representatives of enterprises and companies from the USA, Canada, Mexico, Equador, Peru, Brazil, other countries of Central and South America, Australia, Spain, Switzerland, Finland, Croatia, South Korea, Thailand, our partners from Germany and France also came. 

At the end of September of the same year the team of OKOndt GROUP™ took part in another major exhibition in the USA—Railway Interchange-2019. It's our pleasure to emphasize that the representatives of several countries operating in the railway field (Loram, Nordco) whom our experts met at the RI-19, came to Las Vegas to learn about our equipment more information and establish cooperation.
For several times through the Conference,  acting ASNT President Mr. Scott P. Cargill and ASNT Vice-president Mr. David Mandina, our good friends from the past exhibitions of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing visited the OKOndt GROUP™ booth.

ASNT-19 was vibrant and interesting, the festive atmosphere of Las Vegas smoothed traditional seriousness of the NDT forums, making the event dynamic and easy-going one. It was our pleasure to meet familiar faces again and to observe an active interest to our equipment from those companies with whom  OKOndt GROUP™ met for the first time.

ASNT-20 is planned for November of the upcoming year, the forum will be held in Orlando (FL). Our team will come to participate in it for the seventh time with pleasure!
