Radiographic Testing method is commonly used to examine for surface and subsurface discontinuities. Radiographic Testing can detect internal discontinuities such as voids, porosity, inclusions and cracks in Piping & structural weldments , Pipeline weldments , electronic components , castings, valves & tubes in a wide range of materials, sizes and shapes. The interpretation of radiographic film of welds requires knowledge of not only welding and welding discontinuities, but also the exercise of good judgment as to whether the discontinuities are actually defects. Radiography Technicians have extensive experience in film interpretation at both ASNT Level II , ASNT/ ACCP Professional Level III and PCN 3.4 R.I status

Ultrasonic testing (UT) is carried out by using digital Ultrasonic flaw detectors, will provide indications of surface and subsurface discontinuities, the depth and exact size can be determined by the use of the proper technique. Ultrasonic pulses are directed into the test object by means of transducers which produces echoes and reflections which then indicate the presence, absence and location of flaws, interface and/or discontinuities. Commonly used in testing of welds in pressure vessel, pipe line, structural weldments and tubular TKY connections.

Ultrasonic thickness measurement (UTG) are made using pulse-echo technique. This technique determines thickness or reveals corrosion discontinuities/ loss of wall thickness near the surface or deep within components or structures. It offers the advantage of examining components without removal or disassembly

Magnetic Particle Testing method can be used only on ferromagnetic materials to reveal surface and near surface discontinuities and to a limited degree, those located below the surface. The sensitivity of this method decreases rapidly with depths below the surface being examined and therefore, it is used primarily to examine for surface discontinuities. MASTERSCAN provides both visible and fluorescent Magnetic Particle Testing Services.

The Liquid Penetrant Method is used to detect discontinuities which are open to the surface of the material being tested. This method can be used on both ferrous and nonferrous materials. Liquid Penetrant testing may be used for the detection of surface discontinuities such as cracks, seams, laps, cold shuts, laminations and porosity, MASTERSCAN provides both visible and fluorescent Liquid Penetrant Testing Services.

Visual Examination is generally used to determine the surface condition of the part or finished weld surface, reinforcement and undercutting of welds, alignment of mating surfaces, shape or evidence of leaking. Methods employed may be either Direct visual Testing or Remote visual Testing

MASTERSCAN provide certified Visual Inspectors to meet various codes requirements such as: AWS, ASNT & CSWIP

Positive Material Identification (PMI) is a process used to determine the elemental composition of components/materials being used in the fabrication of critical applications in a wide range of industries such as finished welds, clad surface & overlays, electronic components and Oil & Gas components and weldmenrs. The test identifies the alloys that make up a particular material. The purpose of alloy verification is to ensure that only materials that are specified as part of the design requirements are supplied and used

In MASTERSCAN, we use portable X-MET 3000 handheld XRF analyzers to analyze various components, weldments/ parent material and incoming material verification of valves and fittings.

Hardness is the property of a material that enables it to resist plastic deformation, usually by penetration. However, the term hardness may also refer to resistance to bending, scratching, abrasion or cutting.

The usual method to achieve a hardness value is to measure the depth or area of an indentation left by an indenter of a specific shape, with a specific force applied for a specific time. There are three principal standard test methods for expressing the relationship between hardness and the size of the impression, these are Brinell, Vickers, and Rockwell. For practical and calibration reasons, each of these methods is divided into a range of scales, defined by a combination of applied load and indenter geometry. In MASTERSCAN, we use portable digital hardness testers for quick and convenient on-site hardness testing.
