Methods We Use

Our NDT inspection services help you detect surface cracks, material inconsistencies, and internal flaws using state-of-the-art technologies like ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle inspection.

Below is a structured explanation of each major NDT method included in your service list.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) High-frequency sound waves are used to detect internal flaws, thickness loss, and hidden discontinuities.
Penetrant Testing (PT) Also known as Dye Penetrant or Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI). A colored or fluorescent liquid is applied to detect fine surface cracks.
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI / MT) Uses magnetic fields and magnetic particles to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials.
Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI) A fluorescent or visible dye is applied to reveal surface defects on both magnetic and non-magnetic materials.
Eddy Current Testing (ET) Uses electromagnetic induction to detect cracks, material failures, and coating thickness variation in conductive materials.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CMH Metlabs did a number of chemical analysis for us over the last few weeks. The prices are good and the turn-around time was excellent. We needed some clarity on the results from the tests. The technical people at CMH responded quicky and our questions were answered. We discovered a couple of typos in the reports but it did not affect the over all accuracy of the report. We are looking forward to continuing our analyses with CMH.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What materials can be tested using NDT?

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) can be used to inspect almost all materials, including metals, plastics, composites, and ceramics. Common methods like ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle inspection (MPI), and penetrant testing (PT) are frequently used for various applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and construction.

Is NDT required for weld inspection?

Yes, NDT welding inspection is essential for ensuring the integrity of welds without damaging the material.

Does NDT damage the material?

No. All methods are non-destructive and leave the material unchanged.

How do I know which NDT method is best for my component?

Choosing the right NDT method depends on several factors, including material type, size, and application. Common options include:

Ultrasonic testing (UT) for thickness and internal flaws
Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) for surface cracks in ferromagnetic materials
Eddy current testing for detecting surface and sub-surface flaws
Our experts can assist in selecting the best method for your needs.

Can NDT detect internal defects?

Yes, NDT methods can detect internal flaws like cracks, voids, and material inconsistencies without damaging the material. This makes it ideal for critical components like pipelines and aircraft parts.

Do you provide NDT at customer sites?

Yes. We offer on-site inspection for plants, refineries, manufacturing facilities, construction sites, and more.
