Proscan Nondestructive Testing Services was established in 2002 by Ferdi van Tonder in Boksburg. Initially only Ultrasonic Testing and Magnetic Particle Testing were conducted at customer sites.
After many years of building experience and knowledge in various industries, we have now extended our services, customer base and expertise to much more due to ever increasing demands from clients. Any type of component with no limit of size can be tested by our technicians using portable NDT methods at customer sites. Ultrasonic Testing, Magnetic Particle Testing, Penetrant Testing, Thickness measurements, Visual Inspection and Hardness Testing can be provided for testing services.
We also provide NDT Level III services whereby Qualification and Certification of NDT personnel, Procedure & technique sheet writing and approval, NDT Level III consultancy, NDT Audits, setting up NDT departments for companies as well as investigation into failures can be offered as a more advanced type of service.
At Proscan NDT we pride ourselves in fast, reliable and cost-effective services. It does not matter whether you may need NDT to be done by one of our technicians or whether your company has its own NDT department, we surely can accommodate your requirements.
Ultrasonic testing (Internal flaw detection), Magnetic Particle Testing (Surface and slightly below surface flaw detection), Penetrant Testing (Surface flaw detection), Thickness Measurements (Plate and vessel wall thicknesses), Hardness Testing (Surface Hardness), as well as NDT Level III services (Services NDT companies require for operating legally) form part of our scope of work. Same day service, travelling to testing sites or customers, flexibility towards types of services and friendly advise are just some of the extras we add to our commitment to you as the customer.

Proscan NDT personnel have more than adequate experience to conduct Ultrasonic Testing on any type of component formed by any process. Types of formed components may include:Forgings (Black surface or machined), Plates (Black surface or machined), Welds (Any construction of weld), Bar stock (Black surface or machined), Castings (As cast or machined), Pressure Vessels (Air receivers, Boilers, Heat exchangers, Oil heaters), etc.
Various types of probes are used with various techniques as per approved technique sheets, procedures, specifications and codes. Contact 0° scanning, angulated scanning as well as near surface scanning using A-Scan equipment can be done depending on the requirements. Flaw location, flaw size estimation and flaw depth from surface can be accurately performed to decide on whether parts can be accepted or rejected. Required calibration blocks and reference blocks are kept handy for these types of determinations. Our A-Scan flaw detectors are also annually calibrated to ensure that accuracy cannot be compromised.
We also usually recommend what type of steps to follow when a flaw was found and needs to be eliminated from a component by means of further machining, grinding, polishing, weld repairs, etc.
One of the more used types of methods and possibly the most familiar way to conduct surface flaw detection is Magnetic Particle Testing. Proscan NDT makes use of portable equipment to conduct this surface inspection method on components of any size and shape or formed by any process.
Types of industries we apply this testing method to is Fabrication and Welding, Hydraulics, Transmission, Pressure Vessels, Mining Equipment, Pipelines and also any type of engineering components. Visible contrast as well as Fluorescent techniques is applied using wet particle suspension magnetic inks together with application of alternating current to locate surface or near surface discontinuities. When depth needs to be measured from surface into a material we make use of Ultrasonic Testing for accuracy thereof. Only important factor with this method is that the surface areas to be examined needs to be adequately prepared for proper results.
