NDT, Welding Inspection & Condition Monitoring

1. Ultrasonic Testing

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) uses high frequency sound energy to conduct examinations and can be used for flaw detection/evaluation and dimensional measurements in variety of materials.


2. Magnetic Particle Testing:

Magnetic particle testing or inspection is a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) process for detecting surface and shallow subsurface discontinuities (cracks etc.) in ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt, and some of their alloys. We offer both visible & fluorescent magnetic particle testing techniques.


3. Dye Penetrant Testing:

Dye Penetrant Inspection (DPI), also called Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI) or Penetrant Testing (PT) is being widely applied and it is a low-cost inspection method used to locate surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials. The Penetrant may be applied to all non-ferrous materials and ferrous materials; although for ferrous components magnetic-particle inspection is often used instead for its subsurface detection capability. LPI is used to detect casting, forging and welding surface defects in new products and in-service components.


4. Visual Inspection:

Visual Inspection (VIS) is a common method of quality control, data acquisition and data analysis. It is used extensively to evaluate the condition or the quality of a weld or component. It is mostly carried out on pipelines, pressure vessels, boilers, reactors, storage tanks, steel structures, in automotive and locomotive industries etc. It is easily carried out, inexpensive and doesn't require special equipment as well as mostly used for the inspection of welding, casting, rolling and forging where quick detection of flaws can result in significant cost savings. It requires good vision, good lighting and the knowledge of what to look for.


5. Welding Inspection:

Weld quality assurance is the use of technological methods and actions to test or assure the quality of welds, and secondarily to confirm the presence, location and coverage of welds. In manufacturing, welds are used to join two or more metal surfaces. Because these connections may encounter loads and fatigue during product lifetime, there is a chance they may fail if not created to proper specification. Welding inspection is carried out by certified inspectors to ensure the integrity of weld in according to applicable codes/standards/specifications.


6. Condition Monitoring:

Condition monitoring (CM) is the process of monitoring a parameter of conditions in machinery (vibration, temperature, etc.), in order to identify a significant change which is indicative of a developing fault. Our experience in chemical, food production, shipping, mining, oil, gas, power generation and rail transportation sectors has seen significant improvements in operational effectiveness where delivered in following areas;

o Vibration Analysis (offline/online/remote)

o Mechanical Thermography

o Electrical Thermography

o Oil Analysis

o Fan Balancing

o Laser Shaft Alignment

o Remote Data Analysis

o Ultrasonic thickness analysis
