Oil and Gas Industry

• The Oil and Gas mainly involves Ultrasonic Testing, for Thickness Measurement and Flaw Detection.

 

Cross-country Pipelines

• Cross-country Pipeline inspections done through X-Ray crawlers. Crawlers will be sent into the pipes to cover the area of some kilometers.

 

Foundries

• Castings used in various industries are inspected with NDT methods like RT, UT, MT,PT,VT, etc. These type of jobs are done in enclosures,in house and also site jobs

 

Aerospace (Bonding material)

• Adhesive Bonding – The technique with applying an intermediate layer to connect substrates of different materials.
  Eg: Silicon, Glass, metal and other semi conductor on the materials will be inspected.
  It will be used in military, specialist aircraft, shipyard, convayer and Building constructions.

 

Automobile Engineering

• Most sensitive or critical parts of automobile (Steering, Gear wheel, brake,etc) shall be inspected using RT or other methods.

 

Boiler Components

• Boiler components or pressure vessels are examined mainly by RT and also some other methods will be used. High pressure applicable areas will be mainly concentrated.

 

Ship Yards

Non Destructive Testing plays a major role in ship building and shipyards. The following areas shall be inspected,

• Buildings,
• Containers (Scrap bins, gas cylinder etc.,),
• Hazardous materials storage tanks,
• Pressurized equipment,
• Powered equipment (engine, compressor,etc),
• Lifting components (Handles, eye-bolts, chains, ropes, etc.,) 

 

Defense

• Ordnance factories and some other companies related to defense, requires inspection using High Energy X-Ray,

 

Power Plants

• Power plants such as Hydro power plant, Thermal Power plant, Nuclear power plant and Wind mills will require NDT using various methods like Radiography, Ultrasonic, Penetrant testing and Visual Testing

 

Sugar Factories

• All the sugar factories will be involving in NDT while erection and maintenance works. During regular maintenance and incase of any shutdown NDT will be done with most common methods like Ultrasonic, Liquid Penetrant or Mangetic Particle Testing.

 

Cement factories

• Similar to the Sugar Factories, cement factories also involved NDT while erection,  maintenance and shutdowns with using UT, MT, RT, PT

 

Navy

• Submarines, Ship building, under water missiles, etc

 

Infrastructure Development

• Infrastructure development activities like constructions, rope car, etc

 

Railways

In Railways, it involves various NDT methods like RT, PT, UT, VT for the various areas of inspection.

• Tounge clipping inspection
• Head checking (Gauge corner cracking)
• Squats (Small surface breaking cracks)
• Parts of Inspection :
• Head, Foot, Switch blades, welds, bolt holes, engine

 

Refining

• Fire production equipment
• LPG Bottling (Cylinders, tanks, pipelines, spherical tanks and vessels)
• Loading and unloading areas (Pipes, Hooks, Chains, etc.,)
• Tanks and Pressure parts (Gas tanks, chemical tanks, storage tanks)

 

Petrochemical

• Chemical tankers
• Chemical Bunkers
• LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) storage tanks, terminal storage, cargo inspection)
• Pipelines
• Crude oil tanks, Rail car inspection

 

Construction and Fabrication

• In construction industry, NDT shall be done for measuring the thickness of concrete and the metal beams used for construction. Also inspection will be done for welded joints, critical areas and pressure applicable zones.

 

Transportation

• Visual Testing and Penetrant Testing methods shall be used in the industry of transportation. These inspection are applicable for Engines, Axles and other critical parts.

 

Metal Working

• Metal works includes the inspection in the Steel plants and in the erection sites.

 

Nuclear Components

• Processing of RT as per the requirements of ASME Sec III, for the materials used for Nuclear projects
