Weld Inspection

Bess MTI provides services in the area of weld technology. We develop procedures, provide welder training, and on and off site inspections. We assess welding malpractice and resulting defects, such as porosity, lack of fusion, and lack of penetration.

Our highly skilled weld engineers perform the following weld inspections:

  • Visual testing, to detect surface imperfections, and structural distortion, and includes measurements
  • Liquid penetrant testing, to locate surface defects by dye penetration
  • Magnetic particle testing, to locate surface and subsurface defects by magnetic particle accumulation on the defective areas
  • Ultrasonic testing, to locate inclusions, lack of fusion, or porosity by reflected high frequency sound waves at discontinuities
  • Radiographic testing, which consist of X-rays of the weld, allowing the detection of external and internal defects
  • Mechanical testing, to ensure material properties.
  • Macrostructure Evaluation. We section, polish, etch, and evaluate the welds characteristics to assess root penetration, undercut, porosity, etc.
