Our Non Destructive Testing Services
As an industry leader in non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection, CONVMECH offers an expansive suite of traditional NDT solutions as the basis of many of our asset protection programs
Non-destructive testing (NDT) – also known as nondestructive examination (NDE) and nondestructive inspection (NDI), depending on the industry – is an efficient way to inspect equipment because there’s no need to shut down or enter an asset, increasing uptime and productivity. In opposition to its counterpart, destructive testing (DT), NDT’s non-intrusive application does not materially affect the integrity of the asset being inspected.
Each NDT technique is designed to detect and/or quantify specific damages. For example, ultrasonic testing (UT) techniques are effective to detect and track active flaws, corrosion, and erosion, while acoustic emission (AE) is an effective choice for fatigue, leaking, and cracking.
As many clients’ inspection needs are in at-height, confined space, and subsea locations, CONVMECH’ NDT inspection services include rope access teams, certified unmanned system pilots, and trained divers to ensure assets in hard-to-reach locations are inspected as regularly as they need to be.
CONVMECH offers an extensive range of NDT techniques, along with subject matter experts to assist in selecting the appropriate method. In addition to the solutions mentioned below, check out the OneSource List to learn more about CONVMECH’ expansive range of available traditional NDT solutions, including:
- Magnetic Particle(MT)
- Penetrant Testing(PT)
- Ultrasonic Testing(UT)
- Visual Testing(VT)
Magnetic Particle (MT)
MT is a quick, cost-effective NDT inspection method to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities, available in the field or in the lab. In MT, CONVMECH technicians magnetize a ferromagnetic material and apply finely-milled iron particles coated with a dye pigment to it. The particles indicate a discontinuity in the material by clustering directly over it, which can be visually detected under proper lighting conditions.
CONVMECH utilizes Dry Powder and Wet Fluorescent Magnetic Particle testing (MT) for finding surface/near-surface defects in ferromagnetic material. MT requires a skilled technician to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant indications. It is often used for metal cracking detection, weld verification, and stress corrosion cracking detection.
Penetrant Testing (PT)
A traditional, relatively simply method of field or lab non-destructive testing, Penetrant Testing (PT) is used for finding surface-breaking discontinuities on relatively smooth, nonporous surfaces. It is based on the properties of capillary action, or the phenomenon of a liquid rising or climbing when confined to a small opening. After the excess penetrant is removed and a developer is applied, a trained inspector can identify any remaining penetrant that may indicate a flaw.
Also referred to as Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPT), Penetrant Testing (PT) is used on non-ferrous materials such as metals, composites, and ceramics, identifying surface anomalies such as cracks, seams, laminations, blow holes, laps, external bursts and welding defects.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
Conventional Ultrasonic Testing (UT) inspection is a commonly-used non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that measures the propagation of mechanical vibrations (ultrasonic waves) through a material to examine properties, measure thickness, determine elasticity, and detect a range of discontinuities, including corrosion/erosion, flaws, cracks, and more.
An NDT) staple, CONVMECH technicians utilize conventional ultrasonic testing (UT) to detect surface and sub-surface defects and supply accurate readings regarding discontinuity size and shape. Ultrasonic surveys are used as the main inspection technique for a plant’s erosion/corrosion programs, and are utilized extensively at our multiple evergreen site locations around the world.
Visual Testing (VT)
The oldest and most basic form of non-destructive testing, traditional visual testing involves CONVMECH technicians inspecting equipment with their eyes to determine any visual defects. CONVMECH offers visual inspectors that are certified to a variety of industry codes and regulations.
Often the first technique that CONVMECH utilizes at the outset of a project, CONVMECH provides a variety of visual inspection (VT) services to multiple industries. The method is useful for determining a project’s scope, establishing the extent of existing damage, and informing the technician of where more advanced, in-depth inspections are needed.
