INSPECTION/TESTING
NDT (Non-Destructive Testing)
Non-Destructive Testing (typically for fabrication results such as welding, pipes, tanks, raw materials, and parts/components) using methods:
MT, PT, UT, and RT.
Performed by Certified ASNT/NAS410/PCN Inspectors, Certified API Inspectors, and NDT Level 3 ASNT & NAS410/EN4179.
NDT Personal Training & Certification
Personel Training & Certification to ASNT – SNT-TC-1A & NAS410
Acid/Nital Etch Inspection
Performed by Certified Nital Etch Inspector Level 2 and Nital Etch NAS410/EN4179 Level 3.
XRF Spectrometry Analysis
Metal material composition testing without destruction, can be performed in-situ using portable equipment.
General Manufacturing Inspection/Testing
QA/QC processes such as FAI, PPAP, Material Testing, Chemical Solution Analysis, and Failure Analysis.
The Importance of NDT in Industry
NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) is a material testing method that does not damage the tested object. NDT is typically performed at least twice:
- First, at the end of the fabrication/manufacturing process to assess whether the component is acceptable after production.
- Second, after the component has been in service for a period of time to detect potential damage or failure before it actually occurs.
NDT is widely used because it has become a mandatory requirement in many industries, especially those related to safety products, safety standards, and occupational safety.
Examples of NDT applications:
- 1. NDT after aircraft components are machined/produced
- 2. NDT during power plant turbine maintenance
- 3. NDT during maintenance of gearbox & production machine shafts
- 4. NDT during maintenance of aircraft propellers and other “critical” parts
The main purpose of NDT is to ensure the production process runs safely and produces products that are safe to use in critical functional systems.
