Types of Testing
-
Liquid Penetrant Testing
Liquid penetrant testing uses fluorescent dye to reveal surface flaws on parts and equipment. Thanks to capillary action, which forces liquids to flow into narrow spaces without the influence of gravity, this form of NDT can illuminate flaws that aren’t visible to the naked eye. This makes liquid penetrant testing one of the simplest and cheapest NDT techniques.
Magnaflux offers a full range of penetrant testing products designed to improve testing repeatability. From penetrants and developers to emulsifiers, the Magnaflux line has everything you need to test your equipment. These processes and products are ideal for use with consumables and similar products. -
Magnetic Particle Inspection
Magnetic particle inspection allows industry professionals to see surface and subsurface flaws on components made of ferromagnetic materials such as:
- Iron
- Nickel
- Cobalt
- Alloys of these metals
During magnetic particle inspection, magnetic currents are run through components to locate cracks and other flaws. Metal particles are then spread over the part, which get pulled towards cracks by the magnetic currents, thereby helping determine the size and shape of the flaw.
We offer NDT services using magnetic benches. We also sell these components and calibrate them on request.
UV Lamps
UV lamps are used in non-destructive testing to quickly and reliably find indications of component failure. During liquid penetrant inspections, UV lights reveal the light-sensitive particles in the selected fluid. This allows for identification of the nature and extent of any damage cause by the test itself.
Industries Served
NDT inspections are an integral part of the petroleum and petrochemical industries. A number of other sectors, including aerospace, automotive, and defense, also rely on NDT inspections to ensure component safety and functionality. Each of these industries has a common goal: To detect flaws in components in order to reduce failure and increase reliability.
