Description

ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory (ENAC No. 4/LE063) specializing in the inspection of 100% of a product without destroying it or altering its properties.

The laboratory enables the detection, location, identification and sizing of defects in components, structures and assemblies using volumetric, semi-volumetric and surface inspection techniques.

Personnel are certified to Level 2 and Level 3 in Visual Testing (VT), Penetrant Testing (PT) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT), in accordance with ISO 9712.

Equipment

  • Portable ultrasonic testing equipment using the pulse-echo technique (straight, dual-element and angle-beam probes).
  • Magnetic particle testing equipment with magnetic yoke and testing bench.
  • Ultrasonic thickness measurement equipment.

 

Services
  • Volumetric ultrasonic testing (UT)
  • Semi-volumetric magnetic particle testing (MT)
  • Surface testing using liquid penetrant testing (PT) and visual testing (VT)
  • Residual stress measurement using the blind-hole drilling method (strain gauge measurement)
