  • Alternate Current Field Measurement (ACFM) Surface breakings and near-surface indications.
    Eddy Current: Eddy current testing can find defects through paint coating with prior marine growth removal.
  • Ultrasonic Testing (UT): This is a common and highly effective non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to inspect the material of the internal structure and detect internal defects or irregularities. This technique uses high-frequency sound waves to examine a material’s internal structure without causing any damage.
  • Leak Testing Inspection: In Leak Testing, inspectors apply pressure to detect defects in an object that may be causing leaks.

  • Visual NDT (VT): Inspectors perform Visual Testing by examining a material or asset directly, often using flashlights indoors to enhance visibility. Visual Testing can also be done remotely using tools like inspection cameras (RVI).

  • Radiography NDT (RT): Inspectors use gamma or X-rays to find imperfections in materials. Radiography Testing reveals details like changes in density that are hard to see with the naked eye.
  • Acoustic Emission NDT (AE): Inspectors use acoustic emissions to identify defects in materials. During Acoustic Emission Tests, they listen for bursts of sound caused by these defects. By analyzing the intensity, location, and timing of these sounds, they can gather details about possible issues within the material.
