Visual Inspection

Visual Inspection, or Visual Testing (VT), is the most basic method of inspection. VT requires viewing a component using the naked eye to examine for surface flaws. It requires no equipment except the naked eye of a qualified inspector.

VT can be used for internal and external surface inspection of a variety of components, including forgings, castings, pressure vessels, piping, and weldments.

This inspection is normally used in conjunction with a Magnetic Particle or Liquid Penetrant Inspection, as these are more thorough inspection methods.
VT is simple and much less technologically advanced in comparison to other NDT methods. The advantage to this is that less equipment is needed and costs can be kept down. VT is also one of the most reliable techniques, as a well-trained inspector can detect most signs of damage.

Ultrasonic Weld Inspection

Ultrasonic Inspection is a Sub-Surface Inspection that is carried out to ensure the soundness of the Weldment, Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) and Parent Material. This ensures the component is free from defects and fit for purpose.

This form of Ultrasonic Inspection uses sound waves, both Shear and Longitudinal, to penetrate through the medium and find any discontinuities throughout the component. Our qualified and knowledgeable Ultrasonic Inspection Engineers will be able to perform this inspection and provide a report explaining their findings.

Inspection Standard - BS EN ISO 17640:2017

Acceptance Criteria - BS EN ISO 5817:2014

Hardness Testing

Hardness is a measure of the resistance to localised plastic deformation induced by either mechanical scratch, indentation, and rebound.

WHE NDT are able to give a measurement in Leeb (HL), Brinell (HB), Vickers (HV) or Rockwell (HRA, HRB, HRC).

This test can be carried out on a wide variety of materials. Our operators are able to carry out this service on site or at our test facility.
