Conventional Non-Destructive Testing

Visual Testing

Visual testing is effective in detecting surface defects, such as scratches, cracks, corrosion, faulty welds, and other imperfections that may compromise the integrity or performance of the material;
It is widely applied in various sectors, including construction, manufacturing, oil and gas, aerospace, automotive, among others;
In addition to direct visual observation, visual inspection may involve the use of auxiliary tools and equipment, such as magnifying glasses, cameras, endoscopes, or ultraviolet light, to magnify the view and identify fine details.

Ultrasound – A/B-SCAN

A-Scan is effective in identifying discontinuities such as cracks, inclusions, or delaminated layers by interpreting the reflected wave signal;
B-Scan is used to map the extent and precise location of defects and interfaces, providing a comprehensive view of a material’s internal structure;
The A-Scan and B-Scan ultrasonic inspection service offers a detailed and accurate assessment of material integrity and is applied in various industries for defect detection.

Industrial Endoscopy

Test used in confined areas, allowing internal visualization of pipes, ducts, pressure vessels, and other equipment;
Allows identification of wear, corrosion, cracks, leaks, and other irregularities;
Allows the use of articulated probes, for application in hard-to-reach areas.

Liquid Penetrant Testing

The technique is effective for identifying cracks, porosities, inclusions, and other discontinuities that are open to the surface and allow liquid penetration;
It is typically used in the inspection of welds and joints, where the detection of surface cracks is critical to structural integrity;
The test can also be applied to surfaces subjected to high temperatures.

Magnetic Particle Inspection

The technique is effective for identifying cracks, flaws, inclusions, and other discontinuities that affect the magnetic continuity of the material;
The method is best suited for materials with ferromagnetic properties, such as carbon steel, cast iron, nickel, and some aluminum alloys;
Magnetic particle inspection is known for its ability to quickly detect surface discontinuities, making it efficient for quality and structural integrity assessments.

Accurate, easy-to-perform testing that produces reliable results and can be applied to various segments;
The technique is versatile and can be applied to parts with complex geometries, including pipes and tanks, adapting to various industrial configurations;
It is typically used on metallic materials such as steel, aluminum, and alloys.
