Non destructive testing (NDT) covers a wide group of techniques used to evaluate the properties of a material, part, product, weld, or system without materially affecting the integrity of the unit being inspected or investigated under the test procedure.
The non destructive testing methods we offer are designed to comply with a wide variety of industry standards, government contracts, and military specifications, as well as unique customer requirements.
We use ASNT Central Certification Program (ACCP), SNT-TC-1A certified technicians and Certified Weld Inspectors (CWIs) to deliver a full range of NDT services. Our Engaged Experts assist clients in projects ranging from material analysis or product qualification testing to quality assurance and audit programs.
Our Services
Element has one of the most comprehensive ranges of non destructive testing services.

Computed Tomography
Element offers computed tomography with high-resolution 3D images to provide detailed examination of components which can be used for production defect detection, failure analysis, and reverse engineering.

Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI)
LPI has the advantage of being able to detect flaws in nonmetallic and nonferromagnetic materials and is also one of the most portable of the surface inspection methods, allowing us to conduct a comprehensive onsite penetrant inspection.

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)
Magnetic particle inspection is one of the fastest and most cost effective non destructive examinations available for ferromagnetic materials such as castings, weldments, forgings, machined or stamped parts. Element performs on-site evaluations using portable equipment and in-lab inspections on large components weighing up to 12,000 pounds.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
Our inspectors use ultrasonic waveforms to pass through a material to detect flaws and provide a complete volumetric inspection. Contact testing, Phased Array and the Immersion technique are available for complex geometric parts that otherwise may not be subject to complete volumetric inspection.

Visual Inspection
Element provides a number of visual testing services that in most cases can be the first method of inspection to detect defects and observe problems in the earliest stages of fabrication.
