NDT - Visual Testing (VT)

Visual testing is the observation of a test object or specimen, either directly with the eyes, or indirectly by utilizing optical instruments, by an inspector or technician to evaluate the presence of surface anomalies, or an object's conformance to a specification.

Visual examination is the most basic non-destructive testing method, which precedes and is used in conjunction with any other NDT method. Visual inspection is a method that ranges from simply looking at a part to see if surface imperfections or defects are present and visible, to using video inspection systems and small diameter bore scopes to reach into areas with limited access.

The portable video scopes combines light weight with reliability and ease of use with advanced features to allow inspections in various positions and conditions.

NDT - Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

Productivity and quality are the buzz words in quality control and in-service inspection and ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) is certainly the answer. Ultrasonic technology is used to measure wall thickness, detect hidden cracks and other anomalies affecting structural integrity.

The wide use of ultrasonic for the non-destructive testing of construction components and material has increased the importance of the method for industrial quality control. In ultrasonic testing, high frequency sound waves ranging from 10MHz-1MHz are transmitted into a material to detect surface and subsurface discontinuities.

• Conventional Ultrasonic Testing (UT):

  Conventional Ultrasonic Testing equipment works with the principle of sending a pulsed beam of high-ultrasound from a handheld transducer, which is placed upon the surface of the object being tested. This wave will be disturbed and then partially returned from internal imperfections or from the back of the material wall. The return sound is displayed upon the screen of the ultrasonic equipment, presenting the amplitude of the pulse and the duration taken for return to the transducer. By measuring this sound a skilled operator can identify location and orientation of imperfections respective the wall thickness of the material. Acceptance criteria define whether or not the indication is acceptable or rejectable.

• Ultrasonic Wall Thickness Testing (WT):

  One of the most basic ultrasonic methods applied is using a zero degree dual transducer probe to send an ultrasonic beam into a component and receiving the ultrasound energy bounced back from the far wall of the component. Thus a pulse-echo technique, where the time travelled from the excitation pulse to the first echo signal is used to determine the material thickness. These tests are normally done with probe frequencies ranging from 5 to 10 MHz and can measure thicknesses from 0.7mm to 200mm, and in temperature ranges of -5 ºC to 500 ºC.

NDT - Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)

Liquid penetrant testing is a traditional non-destructive method for inspection of surface breaking flaws such as cracks and porosity in test objects with non-porous surfaces.The tested surface is cleaned and coated with a penetrant solution either a visible or fluorescent dye that is drawn into the discontinuity by capillary action. The excess solution is removed from the surface, but the penetrant remains in the surface breaking flaws. A white developer is then applied to draw the penetrant out of the defects and shows a contrast image. After the evaluation of the indications the surface is cleaned.

Liquid penetrant testing can be used on relatively dirty surfaces, but the sensitivity is decreased, but a fluorescent penetrant can also be used that gives increased sensitivity. The length of an indication can be accurately determined, but the depth cannot be determined with this method.

NDT - Positive Material Identification (PMI)

The portable scientific analyzers use as principle of operation XRF spectrometry (X-Ray Fluorescence), and are engineered for quick a qualitative and quantitative analysis of alloys, geological and environmental samples. This method is non destructive and fast, allows the analysis of many elements simultaneously, and is applied for a range of concentrations.

Analyzers rapidly determine those elements present in the sample and their relative concentrations - in other words, the elemental chemistry of the sample. For samples with known ranges of chemical composition, such as common grades of metal alloys, the analyzer also identifies most sample types by name, typically in seconds.

VIC is providing Hydro testing for installed pipe lines, tube lines, Air bottles, cylinders, Hydraulic hoses and reservoirs to ensure the integrity of the system prior to any commissioning activities. We are providing High pressure testing for sampling cylinders, accumulators and other Hydraulic equipment’s also. We can do nitrogen and co2 pressure testing as well. VIC offers pressure testing services for an extensive range of pressure from relatively few bar to 225 bar.

Hydro testing of pipes, pipelines and vessels is performed to expose defective materials that have missed prior detection, ensure that any remaining defects are insignificant enough to allow operation at design pressures, expose possible leaks and serve as a final validation of the integrity of the constructed system. high pressure oil and gas pipelines are tested for strength by pressurizing them to at least 125% of their maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) at any point along their length. ASME B31.3 requires this testing to ensure tightness and strength.

Lifting equipment is any machine/device, whether powered, manually, mechanically or electrically, able to move, either vertically or horizontally or both, or suspend loads, including the supporting structures and related parts used for lifting and lowering loads. VIC is competent to carry out Inspection, testing and certification of lifting equipments,

VIC supplies instrumentation products like pressure gauges, relief valves, differential pressure gauge, temperature gauges, industrial thermometers, testing and calibration instruments, master calibrators etc. We imports the all types of instrumentation products to KSA according to the client requirements.
