Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Ultrasonic, magnetic particle, dye penetrant, radiographic and visual testing performed by ISO 9712-qualified technicians, to find surface and sub-surface defects in welds, castings and in-service components before they become failures.
NDT is only as good as the method chosen for the job. A technician defaulting to whichever test they know best, on a material or geometry it wasn't designed for, gives you a report with a false sense of certainty. Our technicians select the method — or combination of methods — based on the defect type you're actually trying to catch, the material, and the applicable code.
Reports are written to be read by an engineer, not just filed: annotated sketches, photographs and clear accept/reject reasoning against the stated acceptance criteria, not just a pass/fail stamp.
Our capabilities.
The specific activities this service covers — scoped to your contract, insurer or regulator's requirements.
- Ultrasonic Testing (UT) — manual flaw detection and thickness gauging
- Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) for surface and near-surface defects in ferrous materials
- Dye Penetrant Testing (PT) for surface-breaking defects in any non-porous material
- Radiographic Testing (RT) coordination through licensed partners
- Visual Testing (VT) to weld and fabrication acceptance standards
- Corrosion and wall-thickness mapping for in-service assets
- Method selection guidance based on material, geometry and applicable code
What you get that a generic checklist doesn't.
- Technicians qualified to ISO 9712 / PCN Level 1–2
- Method matched to the defect type and material, not a default checklist
- Reports include annotated sketches and photographs, not just pass/fail
- Available for new construction, in-service inspection and turnarounds
