Radiographic Testing (RT)
Industrial radiography uses x-ray and gamma ray for volumetric inspection. Both methods are suitable for weld inspection in piping, pressure vessels, structural, and welder test coupons. They can also be used to verify the integrity of machines, parts, castings, forgings, plate metals, and pipe wall thickness or profiling.
Radiographic Testing Advantages
- Provides a visual permanent record
- Performed on many geometries and sizes
- High indication sensitivity
- Reliable track record across various industries
- Reliable discontinuity characterization
- Volumetric method
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
Ultrasonic Testing uses sound energy to determine part thickness and inspect for flaws or discontinuities in base materials or for welding inspection. Ultrasonic Testing produces real-time results, leading to less costly downtime.
Ultrasonic Testing Advantages
- Detects surface and subsurface discontinuities
- Detects flaws and measures part thickness
- Requires single-sided access
- Real-time results
- Provides detailed images with automated systems
- Superior depth penetration
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
Magnetic Particle Testing is a quick and accurate method that creates a magnetic field used in conjunction with iron particles. MT is used to inspect a variety of product forms, including castings, forgings, and weldments.
Magnetic Particle Testing Advantages
- Detects surface and near subsurface indications.
- Accurately inspects parts with irregular shapes.
- Low-cost method
- Small, portable equipment
- Rapid test for different sizes and geometries
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
Penetrant testing is a popular testing method for non-porous solid materials. It’s ideal for detecting surface discontinuities on any geometry or size. It offers a high volume turnout in a short period of time. Suitable for both production and manufacturing as well as remote field locations.
Liquid Penetrant Testing Advantages
- Enhanced visual method for detecting tiny surface discontinuities
- Few material limitations
- Rapid inspection on large or small geometries and sizes
- Small, portable equipment
- Low-cost method
