NDT solutions

Support for dependable inspection processes.

Non-destructive testing helps identify surface and near-surface discontinuities without damaging the component being inspected.

QA offers inspection materials for multiple NDT methods so customers can match the chemistry and process to the part, inspection specification, sensitivity requirement, and production environment.

01

Liquid Penetrant Inspection

Visible and fluorescent penetrant materials for detecting surface-breaking discontinuities on nonporous materials.

02

Magnetic Particle Inspection

Inspection materials for locating surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic components.

03

Process Materials

Cleaners, removers, developers, and related products to support complete inspection procedures.

04

Technical Support

QA can help compare the inspection method, current product, part material, process requirements, and applicable specifications.

Product selection

Ardrox penetrants & magnetic particle inspection supplies

The appropriate NDT system depends on the inspection method, part material, sensitivity level, application technique, process controls, and specification requirements.

Selection factors

Match the NDT system to the inspection process.

Choosing the right NDT material requires looking at the inspection method, part, sensitivity target, process controls, and specification requirements together.

Inspection MethodLiquid penetrant, magnetic particle, or another approved inspection process.
Part MaterialIdentify the substrate, surface condition, geometry, and any material restrictions.
Sensitivity & SpecificationConsider the required sensitivity level, acceptance criteria, and governing inspection specification.
Application MethodHow cleaners, penetrants, particles, removers, or developers are applied and controlled.
Process ControlsAccount for dwell time, wash or removal method, lighting, drying, inspection, and post-cleaning requirements.

For the best recommendation, provide the inspection method, part material, current product, required sensitivity, applicable specification, application method, and process conditions.
