Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a non-destructive testing method that uses high-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws or discontinuities in materials. It is commonly used in industrial applications to inspect welds, castings, forgings, and other structural components for cracks, voids, inclusions, and other defects.   In UT, a transducer is used to generate high-frequency sound waves that are directed into the material being inspected. The sound waves travel through the material and are reflected back to the transducer when they encounter a change in material properties, such as a...

MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING & INSPECTION SERVICES   Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT) is a non-destructive testing method used to detect surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. It is a highly effective method for detecting surface cracks, porosity, laps, seams, and other surface anomalies in materials such as iron, steel, and some nickel alloys.   In MPT, a magnetic field is applied to the material being inspected, and iron oxide or iron oxide-coated particles are dispersed over the surface. The particles are attracted to areas of magnetic flux...

PENETRANT TESTING & INSPECTION SERVICES Penetrant testing, also known as dye penetrant inspection, is a non-destructive testing method used to detect surface-breaking defects in materials such as metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites. It is commonly used in industries such as structural, power generation, nuclear, aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing. The process involves applying a liquid penetrant, usually a brightly colored dye, to the surface of the material being tested. After a period of time, the excess penetrant is removed, and a developer is applied. The developer draws...

VISUAL TESTING & INSPECTION SERVICES (VT) Visual Testing (VT) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that involves examining the surface of a material or component to detect any visible defects or abnormalities. It is a widely used method for quality control and safety assessment in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, power generation, and manufacturing. During visual inspection, the inspector examines the surface of the material or component using the naked eye or with the help of magnifying lenses, cameras, or other visual aids. The inspector looks for...

STRUCTURAL STEEL INSPECTION SERVICES Structural steel is a type of steel that is primarily used in construction and engineering projects. It is a high-strength material that is capable of withstanding heavy loads and stresses, making it ideal for use in buildings, bridges, and other large structures. Structural steel is composed of a variety of elements, including carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon. It is typically produced in a range of grades and specifications to meet different construction requirements. The most commonly used grades of structural steel include A36, A572,...

Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a geophysical non-destructive testing method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface of concrete, asphalt, and soil. It is commonly used in geology, archaeology, civil engineering, and environmental studies to locate inclusions in concrete structures and map underground features such as buried objects, geological structures, and groundwater. The GPR system consists of a transmitter and a receiver that emits a high-frequency electromagnetic pulse, which travels through the ground/concrete and is reflected back to the receiver by different subsurface layers...
