Weld Inspection

We assess welding malpractices and the resulting defects, such as porosity, lack of fusion, and lack of penetration.

​

Our highly skilled welding engineers perform the following weld inspections in-house or onsite:
 

• 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, to assess root penetration, undercut, porosity, and other weld defects.
