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.
