Our instructors at TechKnowServ are experts in advanced non-destructive testing methods like acoustic emission, phased array ultrasonic testing, magnetic flux leakage, and eddy current testing. Plus, we have deep expertise in materials science and metallurgy, giving us a comprehensive understanding of fatigue, corrosion, and other failure mechanisms.
Non-destructive testing (NDT) involves inputting energy into a structure to generate measurable outputs that provide data on structural strength or defects. At TechKnowServ, we specialize in advanced NDT methods such as acoustic emission testing (AE), guided wave testing (GWUT), long-range ultrasonic testing (LRUT), phased array testing (PAUT), time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD), total focusing method (TFM), full matrix capture (FMC), eddy-current testing (ET), alternating current field measurement (ACFM), and magnetic flux leakage (MFL).
TechKnowServ non-destructive testing engineers and technicians split their time between conventional non-destructive testing and advanced non-destructive testing. Conventional non-destructive testing includes magnetic particle testing, liquid penetrant testing, ultrasonic testing, and visual testing. The advanced NDT methods include acoustic emission testing (AE), guided wave testing (GWUT), long-range ultrasonic testing (LRUT), phased array testing (PAUT), time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD), total focusing method (TFM), full matrix capture (FMC), eddy-current testing (ET), alternating current field measurement (ACFM) and magnetic flux leakage (MFL)
Our NDT training courses at TechKnowServ follow ASNT and ISO guidelines. Liquid penetrant and magnetic particle training typically last 12-24 hours. Ultrasonic and eddy current testing courses are around 40 hours, while advanced courses like phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) can extend up to 80 hours.
