Radiographic Testing (RT)
Radiographic inspection is used extensively on castings and weldments, particularly where there is a critical need to ensure freedom from internal flaws. This method is suitable for metals and a variety of other materials. Our mobile darkrooms enable us to develop x-ray film on site and provide the customer with archival – value film.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
Ultrasonic flaw detection performed by trained and certified technicians will detect defects located in the weld or base metal materials. This inspection will detect cracks, slag inclusions, incomplete fusion or penetration. UT is very reliable and sensitive to the detection of defects.
Ultrasonic Thickness Measurements
Thickness surveys can be conducted to locate areas of excessive wall thinning and generate baseline data for future surveys used to determine pipe wall thinning rates.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
The test material is magnetized and the magnetic field “leaks” from the surface or sub-surface discontinuities. This attracts magnetic particles applied to the material, identifying the location and size of the discontinuity. Fluorescent magnetic particles with a black light increase the sensitivity of the examination.
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
The surface of the test material is saturated with dye that seeps into discontinuities. The developer acts as a blotter to assist the natural seepage of the penetrant out of the surface openings. This method is used on nonporous metals and other materials. Fluorescent penetrant increases the sensitivity of the examination.
Visual Testing (VT)
Verified according to the standards of the American Welding Society Certified Welding Inspectors (AWS CWI), a complete inspection will be conducted to locate defects such as cracks and leaks as well as broken, topped out or bottom out hangers. We verify piping pressure tests, torque tests, instrument calibrations, performing fit up and weld profile inspections.
Welder Certification Procedure Qualification
On site welder certification and procedure qualification tests to: AWS, ASME, API, ANSI and Military
We will come to your facility to work with your welders, supervisors and engineers on your welding needs. Welder certifications and procedure qualifications in carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, sheet metals and exotic metals are obtainable. Tests can be given in SMAW, SAW, GMAW, FCAW, GTAW, Soldering and Brazing.
