Non destructive Testing is not just about finding cracks with dye penetrant, it is any test where the component is not destroyed or affected. Because of our forensic background, the scope is huge.

Key Benefits

• The part is not affected by the test or examination
• The findings will usually allow us to focus on the real problem
• The tests are quick.

So, what do we mean by non-destructive testing?

• Microscopic examination of close detail, eg fractures
• SEM/EDAX analysis to determine the composition of the minutest particle
• Jig-saw rebuild of a collection of parts (eg an engine failure, explosion etc)
• Fingerprint examination, and chemical 'fingerprints' of contaminants
• Document examination using microscopes, ultra-violet, Heasman lights etc.
• Of course, the traditional dye penetrant, MPI, ultrasonics and radiagraphy

These techniques take us much further than traditional non destructive testing.
