Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Calibration Worx provide a broad range of Non-Destructive Testing methods as a stand-alone service or as part of other service requirements. NDT is a testing and analysis technique used to evaluate the properties of a material, component, structure or system for characteristic differences or welding defects and discontinuities without causing damage to the original part. NDT is also known as non-destructive examination (NDE), non-destructive inspection (NDI) and non-destructive evaluation (NDE).

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)
This NDT process uses magnetic fields to find discontinuities at or near the surface of ferromagnetic materials. The magnetic field can be created with a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, which requires a current to be applied.

Eddy Current
Eddy current testing uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to detect flaws in conductive materials and can be used over painted surfaces eliminating the need for paint removal and surface preparation.

Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging
Ultrasonic Testing entails the transmission of high frequency sound into a material to interact with features within the material that reflect or attenuate it. Ultrasonic testing is broadly divided into Pulse Echo (PE), Through Transmission (TT) and Time of Flight Diffraction (ToFD).

Dye Penetration
Liquid penetrant testing involves the application of a fluid with low viscosity to the material to be tested. Dye penetrant is drawn into the surface-breaking crack and excess surface penetrant is then removed; a developer (typically a dry powder) is then applied to the surface to draw out the penetrant in the crack and produce a surface indication. Liquid penetrant tests can be conducted using solvent removable penetrants or water washable penetrants.
