Welder Qualification & Welding Procedure Specification (WPS)
Where you have a requirement for independent verification that welding has been performed to the required specification. Our welding professional provide welder qualifications and procedure qualification.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
Ultrasonic testing is a form of non-destructive testing that is typically used to detect volumetric flaws, material integrity and component thickness.
This common form of ultrasonic testing is used to carry out inspection on castings, forgings, welded components and composite structures in all industry sectors.
The method can be performed on all types of materials and its applications include:
The benefits of this method include quick accurate inspection and portable operation.
AQC uses advanced ultrasonic equipment and we can inspect customers’ components and structures to industry codes, standards or customer specifications, ensuring that your components and structures meet the highest standards for safety and reliability. We offer both laboratory and on-site manual ultrasonic testing.
The technique uses a pluser/receiver unit to power an ultrasonic transducer. The transducer is placed into contact with the tested object and pulsed sound waves are generated into the object. The reflected waves are received by the transducer and the signals are shown on the display unit. Skilled interpretation of the signals will indicate if there are any flaws or imperfections.
Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT)
Applied Technical Services offers ultrasonic thickness testing (UTT) to determine material thickness and to measure the thickness of coatings and/or linings. Our technicians have been trained to calibrate the UTT gauges based on materials.
Our certified staff of NDT technicians provide quality inspection services for a broad range of industry sectors throughout the US and abroad. Ultrasonic thickness testing (UTT) services are offered in our laboratories, field locations and/or on customer premises.
Radiography Testing – Gamma radiography IR-192, CO-60 (RT)
Radiographic testing is one of the most widely used techniques of volumetric non-destructive testing and is often used to reveal internal, surface and sub-surface irregularities.
Radiographic testing is widely used in a variety of industry sectors including aerospace, power generation, construction, petroleum, chemical and automotive, and for all types of components and parts. The technique is commonly used on welded parts, castings, forgings, composites and is also used for corrosion mapping and the measurement of wall thickness.
Digital Radiography Testing- X ray (DRT)
Digital radiography is becoming more widely used for detecting defects, cracks, corrosion, erosion and loss of wall thickness.
Digital radiography is used in all industry sectors and, in particular, for assessing piping, pressure vessels and valves. The technique can detect discontinuities in a range of materials including aluminium, steel, plastics and composites.
The method is similar to conventional radiography, but images are not captured on film. Instead, images are captured using either flat panel detectors or phosphor-coated imaging plates. AQC uses two types of digital radiography:
Digital radiography has several important benefits as images can be enhanced and magnified for viewing and interpretation of findings.
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) is a non-destructive testing method that can detect surface and subsurface flaws in ferromagnetic materials.
Magnetic particle inspection is often carried out to help determine an item’s fitness for use or conformity. This quick and relatively easy to apply technique is widely used in all industry sectors including aerospace, automotive, petrochemical, structural steel,and power generation to inspect a variety of products and equipment such as engine, suspension and braking system components, castings, forgings and weldments. Magnetic particle inspection is often carried out to help determine an item’s fitness for use or conformity.
Our techniques for magnetic particle inspection include:
The technique works by inducing a magnetic field in the component tested. If a surface or near-surface flaw is present, the magnetic flux is distorted and ‘leaks’ around the flaw. By dusting the surface of the tested item with fine magnetic particles such as ferrous iron filings, (applied either dry or suspended in liquid), the particles will be attracted to the area of the flux leakage creating a visible indication of the defect. The indication can be evaluated by the operator to determine what it is, what may have caused it, and what action should be taken, if any.
Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI)
Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI) is widely used to detect surface breaking flaws.
Liquid penetrant inspection (LPI), is a cost-effective method used to locate surface breaking flaws such as cracks, porosity, laps, seams and other surface discontinuities. Dye penetrant inspection can be applied to both ferrous and non-ferrous materials and all non-porous materials (metals, plastics or ceramics).
It is commonly used to detect defects in castings, forgings and weldments. AQC works with all industry sectors including aerospace, power generation, petrochemical and oil and gas, and we can provide dye penetrant inspection on-site at our customer’s premises or at our accredited laboratories.
Painting Inspections
Project Expediting
Expediting is a real-time task, which often demands pro-active responses to situations as they occur. In many cases it’s impossible to be on-site with every supplier around the world, so there is a need for trusted local expeditors with in-depth knowledge of procurement, production and delivery processes.
Large-scale projects and the supply of critical goods and equipment can involve complex international supply chains, with items procured from suppliers in multiple countries. Late delivery from any one supplier can have an impact on the whole chain, preventing projects from being completed on time and on budget. Expediting means taking any action necessary to ensure that deliveries are made on time and to specification.
Positive Material Identification (PMI)
A rapid, non-destructive method, positive material identification is performed on a wide range of components and assets, and provides a semi-quantitative chemical analysis. It is used for both material verification and identification. We provide best Mechanical Testing Services.
The method is utilised for quality control and safety compliance, and is an integral part of both production and asset integrity management across many industries including oil and gas, power, chemical, pharmaceutical, nuclear, aerospace and fabrication.
Positive material identification can prevent potential product failure in manufacturing. At oil and gas, power generation and pharmaceutical plants, pre-service and in-service inspection of critical components and welds with PMI can prevent breakdown and its costly consequences.
Positive material identification (PMI) Can:
Positive material identification is performed using either of the two techniques below:

Compression Testing
A compression test determines the behavior of materials under a crushing load. The specimen is compressed and deformation at various loads is recorded. Compressive stress and strain are calculated. The resulting stress-strain diagram provides information on elastic limit, proportional limit, yield point, yield strength and compressive strength.
Compression Testing:
Tensile Testing (along with hot tensile & elongation)
State-of-the-art tensile properties data generation for reinforced composites materials including tensile strength, tensile modulus and Poisson's ratio using align-pro, strain gages or extensometers performed at ambient, high or low temperatures with or without moisture conditioning.
ASTM D3039 tensile testing is used to measure the force required to break a polymer composite specimen and the extent to which the specimen stretches or elongates to that breaking point. Tensile tests produce a stress-strain diagram, which is used to determine tensile modulus. The data is often used to specify a material, to design parts to withstand application force and as a quality control check of materials. Since the physical properties of many materials can vary depending on ambient temperature, it is sometimes appropriate to test materials at temperatures that simulate the intended end use environment.
