INSPECTION SERVICES

Our experienced welding inspectors are competent in fusion welding processes, easily identify typical weld defects, conversant in types of steel (including carbon-manganese, low alloy and stainless steels), the hardening of steels, weldability, heat treatment, and parent metal defects.

• Visual Inspection – When performed correctly, a visual inspection is often the easiest and least-expensive method for many applications. However, a good-looking weld doesn’t always ensure internal quality, and discontinuities aren’t always visible to the naked eye. Information relating to weld size are gathered and checked.
• Surface Crack Detection – Used to detect fine cracks, seams, porosity, and other surface-breaking discontinuities, surface crack detection is usually applied using one of two methods: liquid penetrant inspection or magnetic particle inspection.
• Radiographic and Ultrasonic Weld Inspection – Methods known as Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and used typically to examine the internal structure of the weld in order to establish the weld’s integrity without destroying the welded component.
