The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies performs various NDI services to detect flaws and irregularities in materials and components. All services are conducted in adherence with applicable regulatory requirements and standards.
Nondestructive Inspection
Nondestructive inspection (NDI) is a technique that examines structures, materials, and components for material characteristics or defects in surface and subsurface compositions without impacting or damaging the integrity of a sample. This technique helps to avoid equipment failures that cause personnel injury, revenue loss, unplanned downtime, and other adverse outcomes.
The Importance of Nondestructive Inspection
Undetected defects during the fabrication, production, or delivery of products and equipment can require repairs or replacement. Performing NDI methods during the manufacturing process of a component or material safeguards assets to help companies comply with rigorous standards and regulations.
