At our laboratory, we offer a wide range of NDT services to ensure the reliability and integrity of your components and materials. Our highly trained technicians use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to detect defects and anomalies without causing any damage to the component being tested. Whether you need radiographic testing, ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing, liquid penetrant testing, or any other type of NDT service, we have the expertise and resources to meet your needs.
What advantages does non-destructive testing offer?
Testing equipment can pose a potential safety hazard if not properly handled. This is especially true when it comes to testing corrosive or explosive atmospheres. Many organizations have begun to adopt non-destructive testing tools in order to reduce the risk of injury and accidents.
In recent years, the field of non-destructive testing (NDT) has rapidly expanded as a method for detecting defects in structural components and materials. NDT technologies include acoustic emission measurements, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), smokeless powder test methods, magnetic particle inspection, and deep-penetrating radar.
One of the primary advantages of NDT is its ability to provide detailed imagery of objects under test from all angles and at any distance. This can help identify subtle defects that would otherwise go undetected. Additionally, NDT can be used in conjunction with other inspection methods to provide a more complete picture of a component’s condition.
As our technological capabilities simultaneously increase and our understanding of how materials interact remains unchallenged, NDT will become an increasingly important tool for ensuring the safety and reliability of our industrial infrastructure.

Radiographic Testing (RT)
RT is a type of non-destructive testing that uses X-rays or gamma rays to examine the internal structure of a component. This method creates a radiographic image that allows technicians to see inside the component and detect any internal defects or anomalies. RT is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, nuclear, and medical imaging.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
UT is a non-destructive testing method that uses high frequency sound waves to detect flaws in a material. The sound waves are introduced into the material and are reflected back when they encounter any defects. UT is commonly used in the inspection of metals, composites, and plastics.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
MT is a non-destructive testing method that uses magnetic fields to detect surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. This method involves the application of magnetic particles to the surface of the material, which are attracted to areas of flux leakage and reveal the location of any defects. MT is commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, automotive, and heavy machinery manufacturing.
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
PT is a surface inspection method that involves applying a liquid penetrant to the surface of a component and then removing the excess penetrant to reveal any surface breaking defects. This method is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, petrochemical, and manufacturing to inspect for cracks, porosity, and other surface discontinuities.
Eddy Current Testing (ECT)
ECT is a non-destructive testing method that uses electromagnetic induction to inspect the surface and subsurface of a component for defects. This method involves the use of an alternating current that generates eddy currents in the material, which are disrupted by any defects present. ECT is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, power generation, and manufacturing.
Visual Testing (VT)
VT is a non-destructive testing method that involves a visual examination of a component to detect any defects or anomalies. This method is often performed using the naked eye, magnifying lenses, or borescopes. VT is commonly used in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and aerospace.
Acoustic Emission Testing (AE)
AE is a non-destructive testing method that uses sound waves to detect changes in the material that indicate the presence of a defect. This method is based on the principle that stress waves generated by the material will produce acoustic emissions, which can be detected and analyzed to determine the location and size of any defects. AE is commonly used in industries such as petrochemical, manufacturing, and power generation.
Thermographic Testing (IR)
IR is a non-destructive testing method that uses infrared cameras to detect temperature differences in a component, which can indicate the presence of a defect. This method is based on the principle that defects in a material can cause changes in heat transfer and result in temperature differences that can be detected by the infrared camera. IR is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and power generation.
Leak Testing
Leak testing is a type of non-destructive testing that involves applying pressure to a component and measuring any leaks that occur. This method is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, petrochemical, and manufacturing to detect leaks in pipelines, pressure vessels, and other components.
X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Analysis
XRF is a non-destructive testing method that uses X-rays to determine the composition of a material. This method is based on the principle that the X-rays will interact with the electrons in the material, causing them to emit secondary X-rays that can be used to determine the composition of the material. XRF is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and environmental testing.
