Visual inspection examinations are conducted by highly trained individual using near sight or optical tools to enhance the surface inspection of structural welds, tools, threaded connections, castings, forgings or other machined parts.
Certified Welding Inspectors can offer consulting and documentation writing for welding procedure specification, procedure qualifications records and testing, welder qualification and testing.
Magnetic particle inspection of ferromagnetic, both structural and non-structural welds, drilling or production equipment, raw, semi-finished, and machined surfaces used for the detection of surface breaking or near surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials.
Liquid penetrant inspection of both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic material, welds, drilling and production equipment, raw, semi-finished, and machined surfaces used for the detection of surface breaking discontinuities.
Ultrasonic Inspection uses high frequency sound energy to conduct examinations and make measurements. Ultrasonic inspection can be used for flaw detection/evaluation, dimensional measurements, material characterization. Inspections of both structural and non-structural welds, raw, semi-finished, and machined surfaces used for the detection of subsurface surface discontinuities.
Radiographic testing uses a radiation source directed through an object onto one of four capture devices dependent on the technique used for the scope of work. Digital radiography, typically using x-rays from an x-ray tube, stores the image of the inspection digitally. The image can then be viewed and interpreted by a qualified individual based on specific standards and procedures. Radiography inspection is used with both structural and non-structural welds and used for detecting discontinuity in the weld or materials.
