Non-destructive testing

We check welds without cutting or damaging them. Ultrasonic, penetrant and magnetic particle testing can be done while the plant keeps running. Radiography needs the area cleared, so we plan it around production. On our own scopes, our NDT is internal quality control: we find our own defects before your inspector does. On work welded by others, we act as independent NDT and report to the client.

  • Visual and penetrant testing for defects on the surface
  • Magnetic particle testing for cracks in steel welds
  • Ultrasonic testing for defects inside the weld
  • Phased array and TOFD where radiography is not practical
  • Technicians certified to ISO 9712, Level II and Level III
  • Acceptance criteria agreed with the client before testing starts
  • Testing with the plant running, where the method allows it
  • Reports issued to the client in their own format

On independence

On our own scopes this is internal quality control, and it never counts as sign-off. We wrote down what that means in we do not certify our own welds.
