Advanced NDT Instruments for Complete Testing Solutions
In industries that require safety and quality assurance of equipment and infrastructure, non-destructive testing (NDT) is a critical requirement. Aerospace, automotive, railway, and manufacturing industries among others utilize NDT methods for examining flaws and irregularities in their parts or products without affecting the integrity of the material being tested. With the help of a wide range of advanced NDT instruments, industries can accurately examine the problems which without proper testing, would result in hazardous or impacted operational consequences.
For many years, Zetec has been a leading provider of advanced eddy current and ultrasonic NDT instruments. Eddy current testing (ECT) uses induced electromagnetic current to detect flaws in tubes, surface or subsurface cracks and corrosion in the metal. ECT probes are highly sensitive to changes in the metal surface, thus, can be used for effective testing for heat exchangers, pipelines, or tanks.
Ultrasonic testing (UT), on the other hand, is ideal for the volumetric inspection of welds for possible cracks, corrosion, and flaws for a wide range of material and complex geometries. Advanced UT instruments use ultrasonic sound waves for analyzing flaws in the material.
Cracks, corrosion, and erosion are the main types of flaws seen in oil and gas, railway, and automotive industries. Zetec provides the best NDT instruments to support the goal of quality, productivity, and safety for your operation.
