Radiography involves the use of penetrating Gamma or X-ray to examine parts for internal imperfections. An X-ray generator or a radioactive isotope is used as the source of radiation. Radiation is directed through a test area and onto a film, through which an imperfection is indicated by a change in density on the film. This results in the clear detection of imperfections as they are more visible as compared to the results of Ultrasonic Flaw Detection.

Technique capability:

• All type of materials can be inspected
• Produces the permanent evidence (radiography film)
•  Length of the defect can be sized

The thickness measurement & internal flaws of a material can be examined by using Ultrasonic Testing. It first transmits sound waves at a high frequency into a material. The sound introduced into the test object then returns to a receiver when it reflects off an internal imperfection or from the backwall surface. The imperfection or thickness is determined by the echo that is returned.

Technique capability:

• All type of materials can be inspected.
• Inspection item can be examined from one side access itself
• Length & Depth of the defect can be sized.

Magnetic Particle Inspection is used to examine surface and near surface defects. Magnetic particle inspection uses magnetic field and small ferrous particles (iron filings) to detect flaws in test object. By inducing a magnetic field in a Ferro-magnetic material and then dusting the surface with iron fillings, any surface/near surface flaws will be visibly shown by a accumulation of iron filings.

Technique capability:

• Only ferromagnetic materials can be inspected.
• Detects Surface & Near Surface defects

Liquid penetrate testing is used to check for surface defects of a component .Test object are coated with dye, then the excess dye is removed after penetration time and a developer is applied onto it. The developer act as a blotter. Any imperfections/cracks is seen visibly by the “Bleedout”

Technique capability:

• All types of Non Porous materials can be inspected.
• Detects open surface defects.

The objective of the Hardness Testing is to check for the effectiveness of Heat Treatment by evaluating the hardness of the material. Our Portable hardness equipments provides the accurate hardness value of the tested item and capable of measuring wide range hardness value such as:

Technique capability:

• Brinell (HB)
• Vicker (HV)
• Rockwell B & C (HRB & HRC)
• Shore (HSD)

Heat treatment is a process to achieve the required physical and mechanical properties for which the part will be used. Heat treatment is a metallurgical application for relieving the stress after welding, hardening and softening the material according to requirement for its end use. There are many types of heat treatment processes that are in practice namely annealing, tempering, hardening, normalizing, post weld heat treatment and preheating etc.

Tensile testing, is a fundamental materials science and engineering test in which a sample is subjected to a controlled tension until failure. Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile strength, breaking strength, maximum elongation and reduction in area. From these measurements the following properties can also be determined: Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield strength, and strain-hardening characteristics.

Technique capability:

• Select a material or item for an application
• Predict how a material will perform in use: normal and extreme forces.
• Determine if, or verify that, the requirements of a specification, regulation, or contract are met
• Decide if a new product development program is on track: Demonstrate proof of concept
• Demonstrate the utility of a proposed patent
• Provide standard data for other scientific, engineering, and quality assurance functions
• Provide a basis for Technical communication
• Provide a technical means of comparison of several options
• Provide evidence in legal proceedings
