NDT services include:

• Radiography

  • Using x-rays to analyze materials and welds; used for examining subsurface structures

• Eddy current inspection

  • Detects surface and subsurface flaws by examining components for cracks, corrosion, conductivity, and temper condition

• Ultrasonic thickness testing

  • Detects flaws, determines geometric relationships, deep subsurface material penetration

• Magnetic particle inspection

  • Detects surface and near surface discontinuities as possible results of fatigue, stress, or corrosion

• Liquid penetrant testing

  • Locates minute surface flaws and inconsistencies

• Bond testing 

  • Examines the integrity of composite components

• Optical prism

  • Analyzes deviation of light in windows/windshield to detect flaws

• Borescope testing

  • Used to inspect inaccessible locations such as pipes, tanks, pressure vessels for failures, blockages, and other irregularities

• Thermographic testing

  • Infrared viewing of aircraft components for heat and electrical patterning
