Non Destructive Testing Services

Ultrasonic Inspection (UT)

Ultrasonic inspection is a non-destructive test method that uses sound waves to detect cracks, weld grooves, fractures and defects in parts and materials.  Electronic transducers transmit high-frequency sound waves to a material, these sound waves bounce back crystal-clear images, which reveal key characteristics about a material’s properties.

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)

Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to check for surface and sub-surface discontinuities and defects. This method is used to test welds, castings, and forgings for defects; however, it can only be used on ferromagnetic metals, such as iron, nickel or cobalt and some of their alloys.

Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI)

Liquid penetrant inspection is a widely applied inspection method used to locate surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals, plastics, or ceramics). The penetrant may be applied to all non-ferrous materials and ferrous materials, although for ferrous components magnetic-particle inspection is often used instead for its subsurface detection capability.

Eddy Current Testing (EC)

Eddy current techniques are commonly used for the non-destructive (NDT) examination to detect surface and near surface defects of a large variety of metallic structures, including heat exchanger tubes, aircraft fuselage, and aircraft structural components.

Visual Inspection (VT)

Visual inspection is a surface inspection technique that is typically the first step of the examination process. Visual inspection can be used to inspect a variety of product forms including castings, forgings, machined components and weldments.

Thickness Survey

Ultrasonic thickness measurements are used to evaluate the thickness of a material or object from one side and is capable of testing materials accurately giving reliable results.
