Ultrasonic Testing
Proscan NDT technicians are highly experienced in Ultrasonic Testing (UT) for a wide range of components and materials, regardless of size or manufacturing process.
These include forgings, plates, welds, bar stock, castings, and pressure vessels such as boilers, heat exchangers, and air receivers.
Using approved techniques, procedures, and codes, we perform contact, angled, and near-surface scanning with A-Scan equipment to ensure accurate flaw detection and measurement.
Our A-Scan flaw detectors are calibrated annually, and all reference blocks are kept on hand for precise evaluation. We also provide guidance on corrective steps such as machining, grinding, polishing, or weld repairs when flaws are detected.
Magnetic Particle Testing
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) is one of the most widely used methods for detecting surface and near-surface flaws.
At Proscan NDT, we use portable equipment suitable for components of any size, shape, or material.
This method is commonly applied in industries such as fabrication, welding, hydraulics, transmission, mining, pipelines, and pressure vessels.
We use either visible contrast or fluorescent techniques with wet magnetic particle suspensions and alternating current to identify discontinuities.
When flaw depth must be determined, Ultrasonic Testing is used for accuracy. Proper surface preparation is always carried out to ensure reliable and consistent test results.
