Non-destructive testing from Terra Probe – ensures the safe and efficient operation of your equipment and assets by detecting defects before they result in severe damage, and assures compliance with international standards.
From construction sites and pipelines to refineries, shipyards, and nuclear facilities, ensuring the reliability of processes and equipment is critical. Terra Probe’s Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) services provide full or sample inspections of your assets through proven methodologies and certified experts. We deliver precise, actionable data that empowers you to make confident, informed asset management decisions.
At Terra Probe, we offer a full spectrum of conventional and advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to ensure the integrity, safety, and reliability of your assets—without disrupting operations.
Conventional Methods
- Visual Testing (VT): Direct or remote inspection of surfaces and components.
- Ultrasonic Testing (UT): High-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws.
- Radiographic Testing (RT): X-rays or gamma rays to reveal hidden defects.
- Magnetic Particle Testing (MT): Detects surface and near-surface flaws in metals.
- Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT): Identifies surface-breaking cracks and defects.
- Eddy Current Testing (ET): Surface and near-surface flaw detection in conductive materials.
Advanced Methods
- Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT): High-resolution imaging for precise flaw detection.
- Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD): Accurate crack detection and sizing.
- Digital & Computed Radiography (DR/CR): Faster, clearer alternatives to film radiography.
- Acoustic Emission Testing (AE): Real-time monitoring of defect activity.
- Infrared Thermography (IRT): Detects issues through thermal imaging.
- Guided Wave Ultrasonics (GWUT): Long-range inspection of pipelines and structures.
Vacuum Box Testing (VBT):
In line with industry standards, Terra Probe performs vacuum box testing to assess tank bottom plate welds and shell-to-bottom welds. By adhering to ASTM E515 and integrating with other NDT methods, we ensure precise detection of flaws, including their size and orientation.
