Welcome to
Focus NDT |
| |
|
Focus NDT provides a broad range
inspection services for UK Businesses in the Engineering, Transport,
Petrochemical, Gas, Nuclear, Manufacturing and Aerospace industries.
Established in 1993, we are the recognized leader in Non-Destructive
Testing (NDT) and inspection activities. Our Services include: non
destructive testing, liquid penetrant testing, ultrasonic testing,
and magnetic particle inspection. Focus NDT prides itself on its
Rapid Response and Complete Customer Satisfaction. |

Ultrasonic
Inspection (UT) |
|
Ultrasonic Inspection is used as method
of testing for flaws. We introduce sound waves via an ultrasonic
source, measuring the reflection echoes to determine the thickness
of the material and the distance to the discontinuity. We are
leaders in Ultrasonic Inspection, with our service second to none.
Please contact a member of our team via phone or email with any
qeations you may have. |

Magnetic particle
inspection (MPI) |
|
Magnetic particle inspection is used
for the detection of surface and near-surface flaws in ferromagnetic
materials. We apply a magnetic field to the test item, and then
using fine magnetic particles (usually in carrier liquid form) we
are able to create a visible flaw indication. For more information
about MPI please visit our website now. |

Liquid Penetrant
Inspection (LPI) |
|
We apply a visible or fluorescent dye
to the surface of the test item. This will penetrate discontinuities
and after the component is dried, we draw out the liquid onto a
white absorbent coating to clearly identify all flaws on the surface
of the product. method is suitable for any non ferrous components or
material that is non absorbent. Typical applications are forged,
cast or welded products. |
 |
|
Eddy Current (EC)
|
|
Eddy Current can be used in two
different manners, Firstly for finding surface and subsurface flaws,
and Secondly for determining different metallurgical
characteristics. Eddy current measures changes in the impedance of
an electromagnetic coil as it is scanned over a surface of
conductive material. When we scan over a discontinuity the magnetic
field created by the Eddy currents is distorted and changes the load
on the coil. This directly affects the impedance of the coil and
these are then measured in order to trace possible flaws. |
 |
|
Radiography (RT) |
|
We use a source of ionising radiation
positioned at on one side of the test item, and a photographic film
placed the other side. The radiation is partly absorbed during
transmission and differences in material thickness and / or
absorption qualities are recorded on the film providing a full-size
image that shows internal detail. The higher the Material density,
the more radiation absorption will occur. Radiography provides a
non-destructive method of detecting hidden flaws and is particularly
good at detecting volumetric flaws such as voids, gas pores and
solid inclusions. It is also good measuring the length and width of
flaws; however it cannot be used to measure through-thickness of
defects. |
