Laboratory & Non-Destructive Testing
We use non-destructive testing techniques such as ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing and magnetic particle testing, alongside leak and pressure testing, to assess the integrity of equipment, structures and construction materials. Our specialised laboratories verify the properties and conformity of the materials used in projects and facilities, and we qualify engineering and medical laboratories to ISO/IEC 17025.
What This Service Includes
01
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
- Visual testing (VT)Direct visual examination to detect defects and indications visible on the surface.
- Ultrasonic testing (UT)Used to detect internal defects and to measure the thickness of materials and components.
- Radiographic testing (RT)Used to detect internal defects in welds and components using radiation.
- Magnetic particle testing (MT)Used to detect surface and near-surface defects in magnetisable materials.
- Penetrant testing (PT)Used to detect cracks and defects open to the surface of materials.
- Leak and pressure testing
