Types of Non-Destructive Testing Services We Offer
What is Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)?
Non-destructive testing, or NDT, is a group of inspection techniques used to evaluate the condition of materials and their properties without damaging the material.
Also known as NDE non-destructive testing, these methods allow us to check for cracks, voids, and other internal surface-level flaws that could compromise the performance and reliability of a material.
Our non-destructive inspection services help ensure high standards of quality control, reduce the risk of failure, and support full compliance with industry regulations.
Why non-destructive testing is important
Non-destructive testing is crucial in high-reliability industries, such as aerospace, where failures can have catastrophic consequences. NDT testing helps to identify material flaws and inconsistencies early in the production process. This can help to reduce costly delays, in service failures and safety concerns.
NDT inspection carried out by a qualified, experienced NDT inspector, such as Hansen Aerospace, supports traceability, quality assurance, lifecycle management of critical components and ensures you meet all required industry standards and regulations.
