Our Comprehensive NDT Methods
Field-proven inspection methodologies applied across structural, mechanical, and pressure-retaining components.
Visual Testing (VT)
Examines visible condition, workmanship, weld profiles, and structural fabrication against exact acceptance criteria.
- Weld visual inspection, fit-up & dimensional checks
- Weld profile & surface condition examination
- Corrosion and structural damage assessment
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT / LPI)
High-sensitivity surface examination technique identifying discontinuities open to the surface on non-porous materials.
- Surface-breaking crack detection, porosity & lap checks
- Visible and fluorescent penetrant examination
- Ferrous and non-ferrous welds & casting inspections
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT / MPI)
Detects surface and slightly sub-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic components using magnetic field flux leakage.
- AC and DC electromagnetic yoke inspections
- Wet and dry visible & fluorescent magnetic particles
- Weldment, forging, lifting gear & end-area checks
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
Utilizes high-frequency acoustic sound waves to locate internal volumetric flaws and provide precise thickness mapping.
- Weld flaw detection via shear and compression waves
- Ultrasonic thickness gauging & corrosion mapping
- Plate, pipe lamination surveys & component analysis
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)
Advanced ultrasonic technology with multi-element transducers for computerized electronic beam steering and rapid imaging.
- Encoded sectorial and linear weld scanning
- Accurate flaw sizing and digital record archiving
- Ideal radiation-free alternative to RT where codes permit
Radiographic Testing (RT)
Penetrating X-ray technology uncovering internal volumetric weld defects and casting integrity with permanent records.
- X-ray radiography of butt welds and casting profiles
- Professional film interpretation by certified evaluators
- Strict radiation safety protocols and licensed field handling
Eddy Current Testing (ET)
Electromagnetic inspection detecting surface and near-surface defects in conductive materials, even through surface coatings.
- Crack detection through protective paint and coatings
- Heat-exchanger and condenser tube bundle inspections
- Electrical conductivity checks and coating thickness verification
Positive Material Identification (PMI)
Rapid alloy grade verification using handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to guarantee materials match design specifications.
- Incoming raw material and spool verification
- Alloy identification of completed weldments
- Full compliance reporting supporting API RP 578
Hardness Testing (HT)
Evaluates metallurgical hardness across base metals, heat-affected zones (HAZ), and post-weld heat treatment joints.
- Portable field hardness measurements (Leeb & UCI methods)
- HB, HV, and HRC hardness conversions
- Sour-service conformance (NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156)
Ferrite Testing (FT)
Quantifies delta ferrite content in austenitic stainless steel and duplex alloys to prevent cracking or corrosion susceptibility.
- Ferrite number (FN) & percentage measurements
- Calibrated ferritescope readings on production joints
- Verification against WPS criteria and project specifications
