Magnetic Particle Inspection
Magnetic particle inspection is one of the most reliable, cost effective and efficient methods for detecting surface or near surface defects on a variety of ferromagnetic components.
We have an adaptable and experienced work force, who fully comprehend customers’ requirements relating to short lead times that are industry led.
Utilising efficient teamwork practices and adaptable shift patterns we can quickly process individual projects to meet all possible deadlines.
Liquid Penetrant Inspection
Dye Penetrant Testing is used for the detection of surface breaking defects in all non-ferrous materials of any size including metals, plastics and ceramics.
Typical applications would be forged, cast or welded components which suffer from a high risk of cracking and other surface flaws.
We have equipment and capacity to process large batch quantities to cope with customers lead times whilst maintaining the highest quality standards
Ultrasonic Inspection
Ultrasound non destructive testing/inspection is a technique used to detect internal flaws within components by sending short wavelength sound waves of high and low frequency through the test material. It can be used on a range of base materials, typically steel, other metals and alloys.
Ultrasonic sound waves are typically introduced into the item under test via and ultrasonic source, coupling media and hand held probe. As the sound travels through the item, reflected echoes return from the back surface and any internal discontinuities will reflect the sound, generating a signal identified on the monitor.
We have an extensive range of experience range of experience and skills in ultrasonics, our Level 2 PCN engineers have worked in a wide variety of industrial sectors. We undertake ultrasonics on 3 metre lengths of various size bars, castings, forgings and welds.
Bar Testing
NDT operates a unique magnetic particle inspection busbar system. This facility allows us to inspect various lengths and diameters up to 3m (10ft) which allows for quick turnaround whilst maintaining the highest quality standards.
