The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies’ (FoC’s) Sikorsky NDT services help the owners and operators of Sikorsky rest assured knowing their aircraft is safe and compliant. Sikorsky Aircraft is an American-based aircraft manufacturer and a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, revered for its aerospace innovations, particularly with helicopters. Our NDT specialists use NDT techniques to inspect Sikorsky helicopters and their various components, ensuring the aircraft is airworthy.
Our Aircraft NDT Services
Our state-of-the-art NDT lab supports Sikorsky helicopter owners and operators by conducting inspections on key components of our clients’ aircraft. Our NDT services allow us to identify and examine damage that is otherwise undetectable in general inspections. As a member of the ASNT and a certified FAA Repair Station, our inspectors utilize proven practices and equipment to ensure the safety and reliability of your aircraft. We can use the following NDT techniques to inspect your Sikorsky aircraft:
Eddy Current Testing
Eddy current testing is a quick and cost-effective method for inspecting flat, round, and irregularly shaped materials, such as wings, propellers, fuselages, and fasteners. It detects defects caused by corrosion, fatigue, and cracks.
Liquid Penetrant Testing
Liquid penetrant testing is adept at identifying surface discontinuities, including porosity, cracks, and seams. Liquid penetrant tests can be conducted on non-porous materials, non-ferrous materials, and ferrous materials.
Magnetic Particle Testing
Magnetic particle testing excels at finding near-surface or surface flaws in ferromagnetic materials, such as landing gear, engine components, and other magnetized materials.
Radiography Testing
Radiography tests enable technicians to see inside components, revealing hidden issues, such as corrosion, cracks, and improper assembly.
Ultrasonic Testing
Ultrasonic tests are highly versatile, capable of identifying flaws and defects in aircraft materials and components.
Why is NDT Important for Aircraft Maintenance?
Non-destructive testing allows technicians to assess the integrity and performance of critical aircraft components without inflicting damage. NDT grants technicians the ability to identify and address potential hazards, preventing potentially fatal catastrophic failures. Aircraft require regular maintenance and inspections to remain airworthy, and our NDT services can help bolster your routine inspections and preventative maintenance strategies.
