Why is Non-Destructive Testing important?

  • It provides a non-invasive way of testing the quality of a component, without compromising the components function.

  • It saves our clients time and money, by providing accurate and comprehensive data which allow our valued clients to make an informed decision on the plant or equipment management.

  • It ensures that equipment is safe to go into service.

Magnetic Particle Inspection

The method can detect surface or near-surface flaws such as cracks, laps, seams and inclusions in ferromagnetic materials such as iron and steel. One of the main advantages of magnetic particle inspection is that it can give an immediate indication of defects and discontinuities.

Dye Penetrant Inspection

Dye Penetrant Testing used to locate surface breaking flaws such as cracks, porosity, laps, seams and other surface discontinuities. Dye Penetrant Inspection can be applied to both ferrous and non-ferrous materials and all non-porous materials (metals, plastics or ceramics).

Radiographic Testing

With unique mobile processing capabilities, on request, we can provide onsite testing and results to clients for a more efficient and streamlined service. Removing the delay of results between customer and client to help speed up the process significantly and in turn saving our clients on unnecessary overheads.

Eddy Current Testing

Forming the basis of in-service inspections painted ferrous and non-ferrous components, Eddy Current provides a reliable and mobile means of inspection which can detect very small indications. Eddy Current testing is ideal for various on-site and plant inspections. Flaws can be reported immediately allowing for a more streamlined service between customer and client.

Close Proximity Radiography

SCAR, or Small Controlled Area Radiography, uses closes proximity radiation to minimize exposure and drastically reduce the inspection area required when using more traditional methods. A smaller inspection area means improved safety for workers and members of the public, and fewer disruptions to operations.

Ferrite Testing

Ferrite testing is a technique used to measure the delta ferrite content in austenitic stainless steel and duplex stainless steel. The delta ferrite content is measured to better understand an austenitic or duplex stainless steel's susceptibility to corrosion, susceptibility to solidification cracking and other types of material failure.

Hardness Testing

Testing is widely employed for process control and inspection, and the outcome is used in estimating mechanical properties like tensile strength. It is usually done using testing machines fitted with an indenter that is forced into test matter over a period of time.

Vacuum Box Testing

The objective of the vacuum box technique or bubble leak test is to locate leaks in a pressure boundary that cannot be directly pressurized. This testing helps companies save costs associated with lost time and production incurred from repairing leaks after start-up.
