The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) provides level III nondestructive testing (NDT) services to clients who rely on the safety and reliability of their equipment. NDT enables thorough inspections that detect abnormalities, including those not visible to the naked eye or hidden beneath the surface. This non-invasive approach helps ensure no issues are overlooked.
The Importance of Nondestructive Testing (NDT)
NDT level III services help minimize downtime and reduce costs by verifying equipment condition and enabling corrective action before failures occur. Our certified technicians can leverage NDT to:
- Assess equipment integrity
- Identify defects or irregularities
- Empower clients to make informed decisions regarding usage, maintenance, or quality assurance
NDT employs various techniques, including visual testing (VT), ultrasonic testing (UT), penetrant testing (PT), magnetic particle testing (MT), and radiography testing (RT), to examine materials and structures for potential defects without inflicting any damage. These methods enable technicians to effectively detect, locate, and evaluate any defects or irregularities present in the material or component under examination.
NDT Level III Services and Capabilities
NDT Level III represents the highest recognized level of expertise in the field. Beyond their ability to apply the techniques above, Level III technicians can perform the following:
- Developing and Qualifying Procedures: Creating and approving NDT procedures to ensure industry compliance and project needs.
- Training and Supervising: Training and overseeing Level I and Level II personnel to enhance NDT team proficiency.
- Interpreting Results: Analyzing and reporting NDT inspection outcomes, making critical decisions based on their findings.
What Industries Use NDT Level III Services?
While NDT is primarily utilized on large, stationary assets within industrial environments like storage tanks, pressure vessels, and piping, NDT Level III services support a wide range of industries, including:
Aerospace: Guaranteeing the integrity of essential components while adhering to strict safety regulations.
Automotive: Evaluating welds and materials to uphold quality and safety in vehicle production.
Power Generation: Performing comprehensive internal and external inspections of turbines and piping systems to detect in-service damage. This reduces failure risks and shows our commitment to the power generation sector.
Manufacturing and Construction: Examining structural integrity and material properties to avert failures and ensure safety.
Dedicated to Quality
Since 1967, ATS has been a trusted partner in testing, inspection, certification, and calibration (TICC). Across our expanding network of companies, our state-of-the-art NDT testing labs are ISO 9001:2015-registered and backed by multiple ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditations. Because NDT testing is performed without damaging the component, organizations can assess equipment condition while maintaining operational readiness. We recognize that extended turnaround times lead to increased downtime, which is why we emphasize efficient completion of NDT level III services to help our clients resume operations as quickly as possible.
