Many of modern construction projects and industrial facilities involve more complicated structures and severe working conditions than ever, therefore, any deficiencies or defects, no matter how small they seem to be, can lead to catastrophic accidents.
So, engineering testing was a must, but, for economic considerations, it needs to be done on-site and with as limited damages
as possible; here comes the need for non-destructive testing procedures.
As the name implies, non-destructive testing means conducting engineering examinations in order to detect any discontinuities within metallic or non-metallic materials, depending on the change of some physical properties, such as acoustic, magnetic and radiographic properties. Checking for welds defects is one of the most common applications of NDT techniques, since welds represent points of
weakness and they often contain various types of flaws, for instance, cracks, porosity, splatter, undercut and soon.
Here are the NDT methods that we provide:
CONVENTIONAL NDT
A non-destructive testing technique that uses various types of video probes, video borescopes, remotely operated cameras, robotic crawlers, and other specialized tools in order to remotely examine components for corrosion and damage

Liquid penetrant test is a nondestructive test method which
does not harm the samples or parts being inspected.
The test is very effective in detecting porosity, cracks, fractures, laps, seams and other flaws that are open to the surface of the test piece and may be caused by fatigue, impact, quenching, machining, grinding, forging, bursts, shrinkage or overload.
Scientific basis: DPI is based upon capillary action, where low surface tension fluid penetrates into clean and dry surface-breaking discontinuities.

Positive material identification is an essential non-destructive
testing (NDT) method utilized to verify that supplied materials
conform to the proper standards and specifications.
As a result, assurance can be gained that the chemical makeup of the metallic parts has the correct percentage
of key elements.
Scientific basis: The exposed material reflects the radiation,
generating energy. As every element has it’s own atomic
structure, this reflection will generate a different energy level for every element. This energy is measured and detected, thus
identifying the alloy elements.

ADVANCED NDT
New and advanced NDT techniques are continually under development for the sake of more accuracy and more convenience.
Advanced NDT techniques that we utilize include:
Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) is an innovative ultrasonic technique, based on the phenomenon of time traveled through a diffracted sound wave. This technique senses and analyzes the diffracted sound according to the times at the extremes (top and bottom) and to the existing discontinuities inside a welding.
PAUT is an advanced non-destructive examination technique that uses ultrasonic probes capable of pulsing elements individually at different time intervals. Compared with conventional ultrasonic tests, PAUT provides higher probability of detection, it is faster, more reliable, and it provides 2D or 3D images and a permanent record of the inspection through the data recorded.
Digital Radiography encompasses multiple kinds of advanced
radiographic inspections that utilize digital imaging rather than traditional film; it’s safer and more accurate.
