Non Destructive Examination
  • Visual Testing - detects geometric anomalies using gauges and measuring tools.
  • Magnetic Particle Testing - detects discontinuities surface and near surface discontinuities in the weld, using magnetic particles (wet or dry methods). 
  • Liquid Penetrant Testing - detects flaws open to the surface using a dye that is drawn into discontinuities through a phenomenon called capillary action.
  • ​​Hardness Testing – utilized to test welds and high alloy steels such as Grade 91 and 92 looking for proper heat treatment of welds. Proper normalizing and tempering of induction bends, castings, and forgings.  ​​
Surface or embedded discontinuities cause stress risers in the weld, which reduces the fracture resistance and fatigue life. ​
  • Ultrasonic Thickness Testing – utilized to perform flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) of high pressure carbon steel lines pinpointing problematic thinning areas due to corrosion or erosion.
  • Ultrasonic Shearwave Testing - detects location and size of discontinuities in the weld (cracks, inclusions, porosity, and lack of fusion) using high frequency sound waves that are reflected by the flaws. 
Our NDE specialist  services are backed up by years of experience from highly qualified personnel and use of cutting-edge technology. These specialist techniques can assist you in meeting the inspection challenges that arise with complex components or structures and increase the detection of defects. We serve a variety of industry sectors including power generation, oil and gas, structural steel fabrication and construction.

By testing the integrity of your components or structures with AIT-NDE specialist services, we help you to avoid the time and money lost due to in-service failure or manufacturing defects in new products or structures.  AIT-NDE can add value and quality to your business through increased productivity, reduced shutdown time, improvement of product quality and effective management of asset integrity with our NDE specialist  techniques.
For welded assemblies, we perform visual, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, ultrasonic and hardness testing to ensure structural integrity. The significance of the inspection results is quantified using finite element analysis.
