Non-Destructive Testing Methods
Ultrasonic Testing (UT):
Detects internal defects using high-frequency sound waves; suitable for welded joints and thick metal components.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT):
Reveals surface and near-surface cracks and discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials.
Penetrant Testing (PT):
Enables detection of surface-breaking defects on non-magnetic materials and smooth surfaces.
Radiographic Testing (RT – X-ray and Gamma Ray):
Visualises internal imperfections using radiation methods; particularly suitable for weld inspections.
Visual Testing (VT):
Standard-based visual examination, often the first stage in defect detection.
All inspection results are documented in clearly structured reports that support quality assurance and safety-related decision-making. On request, NDT services can also be performed on the client’s site.
