Services
Non Destructive Testing (NDT)
A method of testing parts or materials for cracks or flaws without damaging the piece.
Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI)
Using a penetrating liquid (fluorescent) to seep into a surface flaw thus providing a visible indication (black light).
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)
Using electrical current to create a magnetic field in an object while magnetic particles indicate where the field has been broken by a flaw.
Eddy Current Inspection (ET)
Using electrical current in a coil to induce eddy currents into a part. Indications reveal defects that alter the path of induced currents.
Ultrasonic Inspection (UT)
Using ultrasonic sound vibrations to penetrate material. Sound can be measured when reflected back from defects. Generally used for determining thickness, corrosion monitoring, and weld inspection.
X-Ray Inspection
Using electromagnetic rays to penetrate material having results recorded on film.
