Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) has become one of Structural Integrity’s most well-known specialties. New inspection techniques are continually developed by our NDE applications group, and our top-notch technical staff is dispatched to conduct examinations with these and other state-of-the-art NDE technologies worldwide. Some of the NDE services available include high sensitivity ultrasonic examinations of high energy piping components for the detection of service damage and early stage creep damage, boiler tube DMW examinations, header assessments (tubing, ligaments, header girth welds and long seam welds), boiler tube UT in lieu of radiography,

Non-destructive evaluation professionals in the Huntersville, NC, NDE laboratory have advanced inspection equipment and capabilities to inspect parts and develop examination techniques for the most difficult applications. Ultrasonic solutions include: conventional UT (low frequency and high frequency), phased array UT (linear array, annular array, matrix array, and FMC/TFM); immersion testing with 2-axis automated immersion tank; guided wave UT (short-range, long-range, and EMAT); Time of Flight Diffraction (ToFD); and numerous manual, semi-automated, and fully automated scanning systems. Electromagnetic solutions include: conventional eddy current and eddy current array (ECA). More traditional methods include: Magnetic Particle (MT) and Liquid Dye Penetrant (PT). An extensive machine shop with a CNC milling machine, lathe, and electrical discharge machine (EDM) is utilized for building calibration blocks and mock-up samples.
