Nondestructive Testing No Harm Done: Confirming Quality Without Harming Samples

Nondestructive testing (NDT) services can detect surface and sub-surface defects without harming your material or products. Nondestructive testing methods are also used to inspect the quality of welds for Welder and Procedure Qualification or to detect corrosion. The nondestructive testing services at Laboratory Testing Inc. are PRI/Nadcap accredited and follow strict quality procedures to assure reliable results. Our nondestructive testing inspectors are certified to ASNT SNT-TC-1A, NAS410/MIL-STD-410, MIL-STD-2132 and Pratt & Whitney PWA-NDTQ to meet your industry requirements. All results are evaluated by our certified NDT Level II and Level III technicians.

Testing Metals & More

Lab Testing Inc. is a fully equipped and accredited independent laboratory providing answers to your material questions and quality needs. The layout of our nondestructive testing lab and capacities of our NDT equipment allow LTI to inspect products and parts in all shapes and sizes, and orders of almost any quantity using nondestructive testing methods. We inspect metal tubing, pipe, bar, plates, castings, fasteners and other metal products, as well as some ceramic items. Our high-capacity forklifts and cranes safely handle materials weighing up to three tons.

  • Ultrasonic Testing

    Both immersion and contact ultrasonic testing (UT) services are performed in Lab Testing's nondestructive testing lab to locate discontinuities in products and inconsistencies in tubing and pipe wall thickness. With our extensive in-house collection of reference standards for tubing, pipe, bar and plate, we are able to turn orders around quickly.

  • Hydrostatic Pressure Testing

    Hydrostatic pressure testing is used to verify the performance capability of fluid-filled tubing or pipe and can identify leaks. LTI can test tubing and pipe to pressures up to 10,000 PSI.

  • Magnetic Particle Inspection

    Surface and near surface discontinuities can be identified in products that can be magnetized using magnetic particle inspection services. Wet magnetic particle inspection is performed by the fluorescent wet method on products up to 12 ft. long using equipment with a maximum output of 6,300 amps. Dry powder magnetic particle inspection services are also provided.

  • Liquid Penetrant Inspection

    Liquid penetrant inspection services are reliable for detecting surface-breaking flaws in materials with a non-porous surface. Technicians at Laboratory Testing Inc. perform this testing using both fluorescent dye penetrants and visible dye penetrants on products up to 40 ft. long.

  • X-ray Inspection/Radiography

    X-ray inspection is used to locate internal discontinuities, verify the integrity of internal components and determine the quality of welds. At LTI, our X-ray equipment can penetrate up to 4 1/2 inches of steel and our 20 ft. by 20 ft. vault can handle large products and parts.

  • Visual Inspection

    Inspectors are SNT-TC-1A certified.
