Methods and capability

The right NDT method for the defect you are looking for

Non-destructive testing is not one technique, it is a set of them, and choosing badly costs you a shift. A surface crack in a ferrous forging is a magnetic particle job. A disbond inside a composite panel is not, and no amount of dye penetrant will ever find it. A good part of what you are paying for is somebody knowing which method actually answers your question.

Where a component genuinely needs more than one method to be signed off, we say so at quotation stage rather than running the cheapest test and hoping it holds up.

We hold approvals across ultrasonic, magnetic particle, dye penetrant, eddy current, radiographic and thermographic inspection, plus phased array and immersion techniques for work that needs finer resolution than a single probe can give.

Those approvals are audited and kept current, which is the difference between a test result and a test result somebody will accept.

Much of this work happens in our laboratories, with parts booked in, inspected and reported against your specification.

When a component cannot travel, or an aircraft is grounded and every hour counts, the same procedures and the same qualified inspectors come to your site with portable equipment.

Every inspection is carried out to the written procedure your sector demands and reported so the result stands up to audit.

That matters as much as the inspection itself, because a finding you cannot evidence is a finding you cannot use.
