Nondestructive Testing (NDT) Services

Nondestructive testing (NDT) uses a variety of inspection techniques in order to locate and monitor defects without causing damage to the component. External and internal corrosion and cracks are often found using NDT methods. Some examples of common NDT methods include: Radiographic Testing, Ultrasonic Testing, Magnetic Particle Testing, Electromagnetic Testing, and many more. When selecting an NDT method to use for a piece of equipment, the following four considerations should be accounted for:
•    The type of damage mechanism to be inspected
•    The size, shape, and orientation of the defect
•    Where the defect is located (external or internal)
•    The sensitivities and limitations of the NDT method
