The Importance of Non-Destructive Testing
Non-Destructive Testing plays a crucial role in detecting potential defects without causing any harm to the valve itself. This process is especially important for valves rated class 900 and above, which must withstand extreme conditions. By using advanced NDT methods, we ensure that every valve remains structurally sound and free of defects, providing you with peace of mind.
A complete coverage of Advanced Testing Techniques
Our testing capabilities at IPC Valves include a comprehensive range of NDT techniques designed to identify even the smallest imperfections:
Ultrasonic Testing (UT): Using high-frequency sound waves, this method identifies internal flaws that may not be visible to the naked eye. It’s a highly precise technique for ensuring the internal structure of the valve remains flawless.
Dye Penetrant Testing (DP): A red dye is applied to the surface of the valve to reveal surface defects. The dye penetrates any cracks or surface anomalies and after a developer is applied, these flaws are highlighted, making them easy to spot.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT): This technique uses magnetic fields to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities. Any disruptions in the magnetic field caused by defects are visualized, ensuring no potential issues are overlooked.
Radiographic Testing (RT): For valves rated class 900 and above, radiographic testing allows us to detect internal imperfections by examining the valve’s internal structure through X-rays.
Positive Material Identification (PMI): It is a non-destructive testing technique used to accurately determine the chemical composition of materials, especially metallic alloys. It helps confirm that materials comply with specified standards and requirements, reducing the risk of component failure, safety hazards or costly operational errors.
Precision and Technology Combined
