- Transport Industry, including Trains, Plains and Vessels.
Advance NDT technology, developed by our own equipment and qualified employees:
-
- Guided UT, for pipes inspection during operation, using a combination of longitudinal and torsional waves, starting from 2’’ inches up to 48’’ inches.
- HEAT EXCHANGERS – Shell & Direct Tubes – inspection and testing with use of IRIS/NFT/RFT/NFA. NFA method is the latest technology worldwide in the field.
- HEAT EXCHANGERS – Shell & “U” Tubes – inspection and testing with use of Reflective Acoustic Emission. RAE is the unique method using the latest technology worldwide in the subject.
- PHASED ARRAY and TOFD, using TFM imaging, the latest technology in the subject. Applied as Automatic, Semi-automatic and Manual process.
- High temperature surfaces thickness measurement, from 200 to 1000 Celsius, with combination of traditional UT and EMAT techniques.
- Corrosion mapping with Robotics systems for Tanks, New Shipping Constructions, Spheres and Vessels.
- MFL for bottom inspection of tanks.
- Acoustic Emissions for pressure vessels
- Infrared Inspection with high technology wide lens cameras
- Composites inspection with UT specific scanners and probes
- Geometrical Scanning of industrial spaces, with advanced scanning and design tools
- Magnetic inductive method for Wire Ropes inspection.
- ON-LINE inspection of Safety Valves, during operation. Issue of conformity certificate for 1 year validity.
- ON-LINE inspection of Flanges
- Robotic inspection of welds and joints in pressure vessels or other equipment, with advanced UT or other advanced NDT technology.
- Digital Radiography, with use of specific profilometric S/W, for the detection of defects and corrosion mapping.
- Building structures inspection for reinforcement steels corrosion mapping, using advanced UT, EMAT and MFL inspection tools.
