NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
Non-destructive testing encompasses an extensive range of tests that are used to determine the integrity and properties of a specific material, product or system without damaging the test subject.
These techniques are widely believed to be essential for quality regulation. They ensure that important structures like pipelines, mining plants and even medicines are durable and long-lasting.
Non-destructive testing is considered to be a very valuable process. It does not affect the integrity of the item being investigated and can therefore save both time and money when planning, evaluating and troubleshooting particular projects.
These important tests are conducted in a wide variety of ways and can detect defects or damage both on the surface of an item or within the component itself. Early detection of any flaws through non-destructive testing can be critical in preventing accidents and shutdowns of big plants and machines.
The non-destructive tests we can organise prior to the delivery of our products include:
• Dye penetrant testing (conducted in-house )
• Eddry current testing (conducted in-house )
• Ultrasonic testing (conducted in-house )
• Hardness check (conducted in-house)
• Ferrite check (conducted in-house)
• PMI (conducted in-house)
• X-ray (conducted in-house )
There are many advantages of non-destructive testing such as:
• The results are immediate: This is especially true if they are carried out by a supplier like Special Piping
Materials as we are able to test the material as soon as it arrives in our warehouses.
• It is cost-effective: There is no need to be extra material to destroy through testing.
• Gives confidence: Because the actual items are being tested, end-users have the certainty that they meet
the specification required and can withstand the environments that they are being put into.
