Conventional NDT

Method selection follows the flaw being looked for. Surface-breaking defects, embedded defects and wall loss each call for a different technique, and applying the wrong one returns a clean result on a component that is not clean.

Typical scope: ultrasonic thickness and flaw detection; magnetic particle inspection; dye penetrant inspection; visual and close visual examination; hardness testing; reporting against the acceptance standard in force, with technician qualification stated.
