The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies staffs nondestructive inspection experts to perform various NDI field services.
Nondestructive Inspection
Nondestructive inspection (NDI) comprises various analytical techniques to identify defects without causing damage to the test subject. As NDI does not alter the material or structure under examination, it is a crucial technique for manufacturers in a broad range of industries.
NDI Field Services at ATS
The ATS Family of Companies employs an NDI field team with collective decades of experience to examine assets and equipment for damages that undermine the long-term performance of the tested subject. We identify areas of interest and assess them for signs of wear, such as:
- Cold Laps
- Burn-through
- Crown Undercuts
- Porosity
- Tungsten Inclusions
- Elongated Voids
- Lack of Fusions
- Slag Inclusions
- Oxide Inclusions
- Quench Cracks
- Offsets or Mismatched
- Longitudinal Cracks
- Shrinkage Porosity
- Lack of Penetration
Computed Radiography
Our NDI technicians perform concrete radiography using reliable equipment to locate obstructions with the utmost accuracy. We use X-ray technology to identify conduit, rebar, and post-tension cables in concrete structures.
Computed Digital Radiography
We utilize computed digital radiography (CDR) systems to give clients precise imaging in greater detail than film. We possess the capability to select and enhance vital areas of interest by using electronic file sharing.
Ground Penetrating Radar
We perform ground penetrating radar (GPR) by utilizing radar technology to locate post-tension cables and rebar in concrete up to 32″ thick, eliminating the need for a “radiation barrier.”
GPR reveals concrete depth up to 18″. We scan block walls and concrete structures for proper rebar placement. We also provide 3D computer imaging for formal reporting and archiving.
Welding Inspections
Our technicians perform welding inspections inside our advanced labs and at client facilities. We identify weld defects by performing various NDI methods, including liquid penetrant testing (PT), magnetic particle testing (MT), radiography testing (RT), visual testing (VT), and ultrasonic testing (UT).
