NDT Methods
B-TEC has decades of experience conducting different types of inspections.
VT
Visual Testing.
A trained visual inspector is able to detect irregularities that most people would overlook. VT can help and aid in eliminating discontinuities that might become defects at a later time.
PT
Penetrant Testing.
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) is another way of finding imperfections such as cracks in the test piece.It differs from MT in that it does not need a magnetic field to expose any discontinuities, and can be used to inspect ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic materials.
MT
Magnetic Particle Inspection.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) is a simple way to inspect and locate surface or near surface discontinues in ferromagnetic test specimens that may not be visual to the naked eye.
UT
Ultrasonic Testing.
Ultrasonic is a high frequency of sound pulses that are emitted from a transducer. The sound waves propagate through the material and reflect at interfaces. The reflected waves are monitored using a UT flaw detector.
