Inspection & Materials

Evidence-based examination that helps distinguish acceptable condition, repair needs and replacement priorities.

01

Non-Destructive Testing

Technique selection follows the component, material, expected damage mechanism and applicable acceptance criteria.

  1. 01Visual testing and condition mapping
  2. 02Liquid penetrant and magnetic-particle testing
  3. 03Ultrasonic thickness or flaw detection, where applicable
  4. 04Testing coordination, traceable records and indication mapping
  5. 05Evaluation against agreed codes, drawings or engineering limits

Destructive Testing Support

When representative samples are available, laboratory testing can validate material condition and support engineering decisions.

  1. 01Test-plan definition and laboratory coordination
  2. 02Tensile, hardness, impact or chemical testing as applicable
  3. 03Sample identification and chain-of-custody control
  4. 04Results review against material specifications
  5. 05Engineering interpretation linked to service history

Metallurgical Analysis

Materials evidence is connected with loading, temperature, environment and operating history to clarify degradation mechanisms.

  1. 01Metallography and microstructure review
  2. 02Hardness and material-property assessment
  3. 03Fracture-surface and damage-mechanism evaluation
  4. 04Material verification and specification comparison
  5. 05Repairability, monitoring and replacement recommendations
