Boiler Inspection
Boiler, Tank and Plant Room inspections are an essential service we provide. Be it brand new or existing our experienced technicians have inspections to suit every application;
Boiler, Tank and Plant Room inspection techniques
Ultrasonic thickness surveys are utilised to see if the pipe wall thickness is starting to corrode and or diminish.
Visual inspections are carried out with every in-service inspection. We comment on general condition of the pipe work and highlight any areas for concern.
Ultrasonic butt weld inspections are carried out to ensure the installation was carried out properly, ensuring the weldment is conforming.
Phased Array Ultrasonic Inspections are used to inspect butt welds. This inspection has a high accuracy and is quicker than conventional ultrasonic inspections. Data is collected during the inspection and is presented to the client upon request.
Magnetic Particle Inspection is a surface inspection method that is used on ferritic material with no paint present or removed. This inspection is very good at finding surface breaking defects and pin holes.

Weld Procedures & Welder Qualifications
Weld Procedure Specification
Weld Procedure Specification is the formally written document which provides the welding party with the necessary information for the scope of work they have. This preliminary document is normally provided by the manufacturer, along with test pieces from each welder.
Weld Procedure Approval
Weld Procedure Approval is the next step in the process, whereby the preliminary procedure is reviewed and approved by the inspection body. The approved procedure will come as part of the Weld Procedure Approval Record.
WHE NDT are willing and able to provide this service at your request.
Welder Qualification
Welder Qualification is the final step, using test pieces provided by each welder. The welded components are inspected and tested by various NDT methods, alongside destructive mechanical tests.
We travel to our clients, working around your schedules, offering an efficient and great value service.

Magnetic Particle Inspection
Magnetic Particle Inspection is used to find surface breaking flaws in ferrous (magnetic) materials. Our experienced and qualified engineers can carry out Magnetic Particle Inspection on various components such as: Forgings, Castings, Machined parts and Weldments. This form of Inspection is ideal for both newly fabricated and in-service components.
MPI or MT is often used to certify welds to CE Marking standards and can be carried out on site by our competent technicians.
Inspection Standard - BS EN ISO 9934-1:2016
If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact info@whendt.co.uk.

Phased Array UT
Phased Array Ultrasonic Inspection (PAUT) is a very specialist and advanced method of ultrasonic testing. PAUT is seen as a safer way to carry out radio-graphic inspection, as it can produce an image of the inspected area, without exposing anybody to radiation.
To inspect a large volume of material, a conventional ultrasonic probe must be physically moved to scan the area of interest. In comparison, the beam from a PAUT probe can be focused and swept electronically, without the need to move the probe. The beam emission is controlled as the probe is made up of multiple small elements, each of which can be pulsed individually at calculated times. The term 'phased' refers to the timing, whilst the term array refers to the multiple elements.

Dye Penetrant Inspection
Dye Penetrant Inspection (DPI) is a NDT method used for detecting surface breaking defects such as cracks, porosity, corrosion, laps and bursts. The big advantage of DPI is that it can be carried out on a wide variety of materials, where as other surface inspection methods are limited to ferritic material only.
Dye Penetrant inspections continue to be an effective and reliable inspection method for components such as; castings, forgings, machined parts and welds.
The two main Dye Penetrant Inspection methods we carry out are;
Colour Contrast Penetrant Inspection - Used for site work. Portable equipment. Very versatile. Good value. Great results.
Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection - Workshop based. Fixed equipment. Very high sensitivity. Great for large components.
All of our experienced inspectors are level 2 certified by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing.
Inspection Standard - BS EN ISO 3452-1:2013

Ultrasonic Weld Inspection
Ultrasonic Inspection is a Sub-Surface Inspection that is carried out to ensure the soundness of the Weldment, Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) and Parent Material. This ensures the component is free from defects and fit for purpose.
This form of Ultrasonic Inspection uses sound waves, both Shear and Longitudinal, to penetrate through the medium and find any discontinuities throughout the component. Our qualified and knowledgeable Ultrasonic Inspection Engineers will be able to perform this inspection and provide a report explaining their findings.
Inspection Standard - BS EN ISO 17640:2017
Acceptance Criteria - BS EN ISO 5817:2014

Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement
Ultrasonic thickness measurement is a method of NDT used to gauge the thickness of a component or area. This is typically a metallic material, although possible on a variety of materials.
Measuring the Ultrasonic thickness of a component is often useful in a variety of industrial situations. It is necessary for accurate weld evaluation, monitoring of tanks or pressure vessels, observation of ship hulls and examination of steel structures.

If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact info@whendt.co.uk.
Visual Inspection
Visual Inspection, or Visual Testing (VT), is the most basic method of inspection. VT requires viewing a component using the naked eye to examine for surface flaws. It requires no equipment except the naked eye of a qualified inspector.
VT can be used for internal and external surface inspection of a variety of components, including forgings, castings, pressure vessels, piping, and weldments.
This inspection is normally used in conjunction with a Magnetic Particle or Liquid Penetrant Inspection, as these are more thorough inspection methods.
VT is simple and much less technologically advanced in comparison to other NDT methods. The advantage to this is that less equipment is needed and costs can be kept down. VT is also one of the most reliable techniques, as a well-trained inspector can detect most signs of damage.

Hardness Testing
Hardness is a measure of the resistance to localised plastic deformation induced by either mechanical scratch, indentation, and rebound.
WHE NDT are able to give a measurement in Leeb (HL), Brinell (HB), Vickers (HV) or Rockwell (HRA, HRB, HRC).
This test can be carried out on a wide variety of materials. Our operators are able to carry out this service on site or at our test facility.
