  Radiography is used to inspect, various types of welds, castings, and manufactured parts such as those in Oil & Gas facility fabrication and pipelines, pressure equipment, and storage tanks, as well as concrete and other structural elements. It can identify flaws that may not be otherwise visible. These characteristics have made non-destructive testing a key tool for quality control, safety, and reliability.

 Magnetic Particle Inspection method is used for the detection of surface and near-surface flaws in higher carbon materials and is primarily used for crack detection. The specimen is magnetized either locally or overall, and a fine iron particle is applied. The Iron particle can be dry or suspended in an oil or water solution. If there is a flaw in the specimen the iron particles will gather with in the flaw indicating its location and size.

  Liquid penetrant examination is one of the most popular Non-destructive Examination (NDE) methods in the industry. Liquid penetrant exams check for material flaws open to the surface by flowing very thin liquid into the flaw and then drawing the liquid out with a chalk-like developer. It may be used on such materials as aluminum, magnesium, brass, copper, cast iron, steel, stainless steel, and carbides.

 Ultrasonic NDT Testing | Shear Wave testing, also known as an angle beam inspection, is an ultrasonic testing technique that is great for weld inspections.  A probe consisting of an ultrasonic transducer with a plastic wedge introduces an ultrasonic beam at an angle into the test area.  As the probe is moved back and forth along the tested area, it can detect discontinuities in the weld based on the refraction of the ultrasonic beam.

  Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) is one of the advanced ultrasonic testing methods. It is well known for its higher probability of detection and precise measurement capability.  PAUT Inspection can be used as a direct replacement for radiography testing for piping. This is an advanced method of ultrasonic testing that has applications in medical imaging and industrial non-destructive testing..

  Eddy current testing catches issues like cracks, pits, inclusions, and voids on a variety of different materials that are ferrous and nonferrous. Some metal materials that can be tested are condensers, bearings, spindles, and tubing.

Specialized Inspections

Thermal Imaging

Remote Visual Inspection

Thermal Imaging

  Infrared thermography, thermal imaging, and thermal video are examples of infrared imaging science. Thermographic cameras usually detect radiation in the mid to near-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum and produce images of that radiation, called thermograms.

 or Remote Digital Video Inspection, also known as RVI or RDVI, is a form of visual inspection which uses visual aids including video technology to allow an inspector to look at objects and materials from a distance because the objects are inaccessible or are in dangerous environments

  Typically used for long horizontal runs or inside vessels where a self-propelled, steerable camera carrier is required. Some clients prefer that we use this camera system even for short, normal access inspections.

3D Scanning

  Technology for creating high-precision 3D models of real-world objects. It works like this: a 3D scanner takes multiple snapshots of an object. The shots are then fused into a 3D model, an exact three-dimensional copy of the object, which you can rotate and view from different angles on your computer.
