What is NDT?
Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a group of techniques used to evaluate materials, components and systems without causing damage. It identifies defects and potential problems in equipment, structures and pipelines before they become failures, which keeps people safe and assets reliable.
Our experienced technicians use modern equipment to give accurate, reliable results. Our services are designed to protect the safety and reliability of your plant while keeping downtime and maintenance costs down.
Conventional NDT methods we offer
| Method | What it detects | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Ultrasonic Testing UT | Internal flaws, lack of fusion, laminations, wall thickness loss | Welds, piping, plates, thickness surveys |
| Magnetic Particle Testing MT | Surface and near-surface cracks in ferromagnetic materials | Welds, forgings, lifting gear, structural steel |
| Penetrant Testing PT | Surface-breaking cracks and porosity | Non-magnetic metals, stainless steel, machined parts |
| Radiography Testing RT | Internal volumetric defects such as porosity, slag and incomplete penetration | Butt welds on piping and vessels |
| Gamma Radiography γ-RT | Internal defects in thick sections, using an isotope source | Field radiography where X-ray sets are impractical |
| Visual & Optical Testing VT | Surface condition, weld profile, corrosion, misalignment | First-line inspection of all equipment |
| Eddy Current Testing ET | Surface cracks, wall loss and material sorting in conductive metals | Heat exchanger tubes, non-ferrous components |
