We offer Inspections to ASME, AWS, API
and Customer Specifications

2. Certified Welding Inspection (CWI)
Our Welding inspectors ensure that the work
produced by welders meets specifications for quality
and safety. Their CWI certification ensures that
inspector has the appropriate skills for determining
the quality of welds. We offer CWI welder testing at
ouroffice,whereclientscansendnewprojectwelders
for testing before they work on a project. Welder
tests are also available at client field locations.
Our CWIs can also assist clients in weld procedure
development and project troubleshooting.
Consulting
We offer Advice with our Technical background
on solutions to your problems. We will advise you
on code compliance questions and give you the
understanding needed to advance forward. We
also offer auditing services for your Radiography
department,ensuringqualityisachievedandproper
calls are made, along with the proper certification
of the personnel whom performed the work.
Liquid Penetrant Inspection (PT)
Liquid Penetrant testing is probably the most widely
used NDT method. The test object or material
is first cleaned and then coated with a visible or
fluorescent dye solution. After a pre-selected time
interval (dwell time), the excess dye is removed
from the surface, and then a developer is applied.
The developer draws penetrant out of imperfections
which are open to the surface. With visible dyes, the
vivid color contrast between the penetrant and the
developer makes the “bleedout” easy to see. With
fluorescent dyes, an ultraviolet lamp is used to make
the “bleedout” fluoresce brightly, thus allowing the
imperfection to be seen readily.
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MT)
Magnetic particle testing is done by inducing a
magnetic field in a ferro-magnetic material and
dusting the surface with iron particles (either dry
or suspended in a liquid). Surface imperfections
will allow the magnetic field to leak out of the part,
distort the magnetic field and concentrate the iron
particles near imperfections, thus indicating their
presence.Magnetic Particle Testing, or Magnaflux
as it is sometimes called, uses magnetic leakage
fields to detect surface and subsurface cracks and
discontinuities.
Ultrasonic inspections (UTT,UTSW)
Ultrasonic testing uses the transmission of high
frequency sound waves into a material to detect
imperfections within the material or changes in
material properties. The most commonly used
ultrasonic testing technique is pulse echo wherein
sound is introduced into the test object and
reflections (echos) are returned to a receiver from
internal imperfections or from geometrical surfaces
of the part.
API Inspections
Our API inspectors have been properly trained
and certified to API 653, 570, 510, 571, 577, 580,
