KEY CUSTOMER BENEFITS
Inspections carried out using Non Destructive Testing means can generally be divided into two distinct categories - Surface Inspection and Volumetric Inspection.

• Surface Inspection is applied when it is necessary to detect 'surface breaking' faults such as cracks, lack of fusion or cold laps whilst
• Volumetric Inspection is applied when it is necessary to detect faults within the 'volume' of a material such as porosity, inclusions or lack of fusion or perhaps, you may simply want to determine correct assembly of a component.
