As well as Metallurgical/Mechanical Inspection services, Caparo Testing Technologies provide a broad spectrum of Non Destructive Testing NDT services from its test facilities and laboratories, which have been strategically located within the UK for the benefit of the extensive client base and markets we support. These inspection services range from the more conventional NDT methods such as Ultrasonics, Magnetic Particle, Penetrant and Eddy Current Inspection to Radiography using either X/Ray or Gamma Rays.
Inspections carried out using Non Destructive Testing means can generally be divided into two distinct categories - Surface Inspection and Volumetric Inspection.
Surface Inspection is applied when it is necessary to detect 'surface breaking' faults such as cracks, lack of fusion or cold laps whilst Volumetric Inspection is applied when it is necessary to detect faults within the 'volume' of a material such as porosity, inclusions or lack of fusion or perhaps, you may simply want to determine correct assembly of a component. The highly skilled and experienced staff at Caparo Testing Technologies will be pleased to offer you advice and assistance so that you can consider which is the most appropriate method to apply for your particular requirement.
We also offer more specialist services such as Thermography and Positive Material Identification (PMI) using XRF Technology as well as Training and Consultancy.
