For Radiographic Testing, energy is used by a number of various sources to penetrate materials and produce radiographic images on film and digital media. Suitable energy sources can be used for most weldments, materials and thicknesses. The film is then examined for potential issues.
Butt welds in piping, plate, structural shapes, tubing and castings and components
Casting of steel, aluminum and magnesium
Aircraft Components
Refinery piping and boiler tubing for corrosion/erosion
To perform ultrasonic testing, ultrasonic sound waves are used to measure thickness and defects in materials. Various modes of sound propagation and methods of signal processing provide volumetric information to the inspector. Our Inspection hold current UT Designations.
Full penetration butt welds, corner welds, tee welds and fillet welds in piping, plate, structural shapes and castings
Long shaft and spindles
Ball mill gears
Magnetic particle testing utilizes instruments to produce magnetic lines of flux on ferro-magnetic materials. This allows fine magnetic iron particles applied in various carriers to align and produce patterns that indicate surface breaking or sub-surface indications.
Welds in piping, plate, structural shapes and machinery components
Castings
Aircraft components
Bar stock and shafts
Weld preparations and plate edges
Machine parts
Visual Inspection pertains to several aspects including Procedural Verification, Vendor Surveillance and Quality Assurance. Our visual inspectors can perform component condition assessments, dimensional verification and bolt torque verification.
Shop and field welding quality control
Structural steel inspection (bolt torqueing, material and weld testing)
Paint and coating inspection
Fireproofing
Welder qualifications
Material verification
Vendor surveillance
Hardness testing of welds and metals
Witnessing of destructive and nondestructive testing
Witnessing of hydrostatic pressure test
Liquid Penetrant Testing utilizes a penetrating oil to be drawn into surface breaking indications. Capillary action draws the oil into the indications and after a sufficient dwell time, the excess oil is removed, the part is cleaned and a developer is applied to the surface. The developer draws the remaining penetrant from the indications and provides a visible representation of the location and orientation of the indications.
