Applications and Solutions
Assessing Porosities in CFRP Laminates with Ultrasonic NDT
17th July 2019
Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) are manufactured differently to one and other to strict standards and quality control regimes which are based on the specific industrial requirements.
Rail Bolt Hole Inspection with Prisma and X5
17th July 2019
Inspection of bolt holes in rail is a common application that detects cracking caused by expansion and vibration.
Aerospace Structural Control
29th October 2018
Improving resistance properties in composite is all about improving stress and strain resistance such as ultimate tensile strength.
Ultrasonic NDT Corrosion Mapping From Phased Array to FMC-TFM
2nd August 2018
Corrosion inspections are used to evaluate the remaining wall thickness or the presence of mid-wall anomalies in pipeworks, pressure vessels, and other metallic structures.
FMC/TFM Technique for Defect Characterisation
2nd August 2018
Defect characterisation has always been a challenge for ultrasonic inspection techniques.
Hydrogen Blister Progression FMC/TFM Assessment
2nd August 2018
Hydrogen blistering usually occurs in systems where oil & gas contain large amounts of hydrogen sulphide. At high temperatures, when hydrogen atoms diffuse into the steel, hydrogen molecules form an internal defect or inclusion that usually migrate to become a small delamination. Over time, this can form voids or blisters which lower the equipment MAWP (maximum allowable working pressure) and may lead to equipment failure.
Corrosion Mapping from PA to TFM
13th April 2018
Corrosion inspections are used to evaluate the remaining wall thickness or the presence of mid-wall anomalies in pipeworks, pressure vessels and other metallic structures.
Austenitic Stainless Steel Solution DAAH - Dual Linear Array Probe
6th April 2018
Austenitic stainless steel is well known for its high mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
Friction weld Inspection with TOFD
30th November 2017
Friction weld is a solid-state welding process that generates heat through mechanical friction between two workpieces in relative motion.
Long Seam weld Inspection with Phased Array
30th November 2017
