Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Inspection Services
Ensure your products' integrity and reliability without compromising their structure with Element's Non-Destructive Testing services. Whether you need on-site field testing or comprehensive laboratory analysis, our certified experts provide accurate inspections that detect flaws early, meet regulatory requirements, and minimize production downtime.
Why Element are global leaders in Non-Destructive Testing
Element's Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) covers a broad group of techniques used to evaluate the properties of materials, components, assemblies, parts, products, welds, and systems without affecting their integrity. Our services comply with a variety of industry standards, unique customer requirements, government contracts, and military specifications.
From nuclear reactors to bridges and aircraft fuselage, our NDT services guarantee regulatory standards are met before components enter service. Our experts assist clients in projects ranging from material analysis and product qualification to quality assurance and audit programs, detecting cracks, porosities, welding defects, and evaluating material properties both on-site and in our laboratories.
Our testing methods include:
Services
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Services
Detect hidden defects with Element's ultrasonic testing services. Our expert teams provide both contact and immersion UT inspection to verify component integrity, meet standards, and prevent failures.
Radiographic Testing (RT) and Inspection Services
Element provides radiographic testing and inspection services to detect hidden defects in critical components. Our advanced NDT methods meet industry standards, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and reliable quality verification.
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) Services
Element's experts carry out non-destructive magnetic particle inspection tests to check for surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferrous metals.
Industrial Computed Tomography
Industrial computed tomography (ICT) at Element provides high-resolution, non-destructive testing for precise defect detection, 3D measurement, and quality assurance across industries.
Eddy Current Inspection
Eddy current inspection delivers precise non-destructive testing for metallic structures, including heat exchangers and aircraft parts. Detect flaws and ensure quality with Element's advanced testing solutions.
Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI)
Element's liquid penetrant inspection identifies surface flaws with precision. Our experts provide reliable, cost-effective testing for aerospace, nuclear, and commercial applications, delivering accurate results to support compliance and quality assurance.
X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Analysis
X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis is a non-destructive testing method that identifies crystalline phases and chemical composition, supporting precise material characterization for industries requiring detailed structural insights.
Visual Inspection Services
Expert visual inspection services to detect defects, inconsistencies, and surface flaws in materials and structures. Enhance quality control and compliance with our Engaged Experts and industry-approved standards.
Spray Dryer Crack Testing and Inspection
