A variety of non-destructive examination/testing (NDE/NDT) options are available.

  • Liquid dye penetrant inspection (DPI)
  • Magnetic particle inspection (MPI)
  • Positive material identification (PMI)
  • Radiographic testing (RT)
  • Ultrasonic testing (UT)

We offer a wide range of mechanical and electrical testing in our test bay.
