NDT
Home/Services/NDT Inspections

Find The Flaw First.

Magnetic particle, dye penetrant, ultrasonic, and visual testing on steel, aluminum, and stainless steel parts. Our technicians have undergone a rigorous training course and are certified by a third party, for the most accurate analysis of your part.

Four Methods

Tested Without
A Scratch.

Non-destructive testing finds cracks, porosity, and hidden flaws while your part stays in one piece and ready for service.

01

Magnetic Particle

A magnetic field plus applied flux reveals discontinuities in ferrous metals as visible indications, evaluated on the spot by our techs.

02

Dye Penetrant

Liquid penetrant pulls surface-breaking defects into view on aluminum and stainless: hairline cracks, porosity, leaks, and fatigue cracks.

03

Ultrasonic

Short pulse-waves travel through the material to detect internal flaws and measure thickness, a standard check for pipework corrosion.

04

Visual Testing

Trained eyes on every weld, fitting, and wear point, backed by our experienced rigging inspectors and full inspection services.
