Inspection of Raw Products Forgings, Castings, Extrusions, etc.

Machining Welding Grinding Heat treating Plating etc. Inspection Following Secondary Processing

Cracking Corrosion Erosion/Wear Heat Damage etc. Inspection For In-Service Damage

Storage Tank Inspection Robotic crawlers use ultrasound to inspect the walls of large above ground tanks for signs of thinning due to corrosion. Cameras on long articulating arms are used to inspect underground storage tanks for damage.

Pressure Vessel Inspection The failure of a pressure vessel can result in the rapid release of a large amount of energy. To protect against this dangerous event, the tanks are inspected using radiography and ultrasonic testing.

Rail Inspection Special cars are used to inspect thousands of miles of rail to find cracks that could lead to a derailment.

NDT is used to inspect pipelines to prevent leaks that could damage the environment. Visual inspection, radiography and electromagnetic testing are some of the NDT methods used. Remote visual inspection using a robotic crawler. Radiography of weld joints. Magnetic flux leakage inspection. This device, known as a pig, is placed in the pipeline and collects data on the condition of the pipe as it is pushed along by whatever is being transported. Pipeline Inspection
