Tubular Inspection
Tubular Inspection is the application of various technologies to detect anomalies such as corrosion and manufacturing defects in multiple different tubes. Tubing can be found in all different places such as boilers, heat exchangers, and other industrial equipment. By inspection, we usually insert some type of probe into the tubes, one at a time, while […]
Surface Eddy Current
Eddy-current testing (also commonly seen as eddy current testing and ECT) is one of many electromagnetic testing methods used in nondestructive testing (NDT) making use of electromagnetic induction to detect and characterize surface and sub-surface flaws in conductive materials. Our Specialty Services Department offers a diverse array of capabilities for surface inspections. For non-ferromagnetic materials, […]
Remote Visual
Remote Visual Inspection or Remote Digital Video Inspection, also known as RVI or RDVI, is a form of visual inspection which uses visual aids including video technology to allow an inspector to look at objects and materials from a distance because the objects are inaccessible or are in dangerous environments. RVI is also a specialty […]
Advanced Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a family of non-destructive testing techniques based on the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the object or material tested. Our technicians have been through extensive training and are continually challenged in numerous applications. We use only the latest ‘state of the art” equipment along with proven procedures to meet or exceed […]
Ultrasonic Thickness Testing
Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a family of non-destructive testing techniques based on the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the object or material tested. Our technicians have been through extensive training and are continually challenged in numerous applications. We use only the latest “state of the art” equipment along with proven procedures to meet or exceed industry […]
Positive Material Identification
Positive Material Identification (PMI) is the analysis of a metallic alloy to establish composition by reading the quantities by percentage of its constituent elements. Typical methods for PMI include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and optical emission spectrometry (OES). Pro-Surve Technical Services offers Positive Material Identification as one of our Specialty Testing services. Verification of proper materials […]
Magnetic Particle
Pro-Surve Technical Services offers Magnetic Particle Testing of Ferromagnetic Materials. Testing can be accomplished either during fabrication of equipment, or testing for service induced flaws or monitoring of repairs. It is cost effective, simple, fast, and generally the most reliable NDT method for detecting surface and near surface discontinuities. Magnetic Particle testing can be done […]
Liquid Penetrant
Liquid Penetrant Testing is a very versatile method used to detect surface discontinuities in a wide variety of product forms. It is relatively cost effective and very portable in application. Although surface preparation is sometimes required, when using the visible method, no electricity is needed. This makes it a very useful tool especially in remote […]
Visual Inspection
Pro-Surve Technical Services has experienced Inspectors on staff certified by the American Petroleum Institute by examination. We are available to staff both long term and temporary assignments for run and maintain or turnaround inspection support. Our Inspectors have certifications and expertise in the following: API-510 – Authorized Pressure Vessel Inspector. API-570 – Authorized Piping Inspector. API-571 – […]
Coatings & Corrosion Inspection
Aside from providing varying degrees of cosmetic appeal, protective coatings are the primary line of defense against corrosion. Materials selection, surface preparation, materials management, atmospheric variables, applicator competence, and job planning are but a few of the considerations a well-trained coatings inspector utilizes to ensure our clients are getting the highest quality coatings system application.
