Non Destructive Testing

Stockcode:

Early identification and repair of faults to avoid unexpected downtime.

Reduce downtime and increase productivity

Our non destructive testing (NDT) services keep your assets up and running by identifying faults and rectifying them early to avoid unexpected downtime. As we all know, inactive machinery inevitably leads to lost revenue.

Effectively determine quality issues in a non-invasive manner

Evaluate the reliability of your assets without damaging or rendering them unfit for purpose.

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)

Detecting surface and subsurface flaws in ferromagnetic materials
Our magnetic particle testing service can be used for examining all types of components, from small items such as castings and forgings to larger in-service components. This method of non destructive testing can identify surface breaking and slight sub-surface defects such as cracking and pores, particularly in welds, which may cause reductions in durability and lifespan.

Ensure regulatory compliance

Achieve complete compliance with industry regulations by identifying any non-compliant components.
