Fabrication Inspections

 

Borescope Inspection

Nortest provides video borescope inspection services to industry, working in the UK and overseas we are able to inspect your plant in restricted locations and remote locations. Amongst others we have worked in the Nuclear, Food, Petrochemical and Pharmaceutical Industries

  • Pipework Inspection
  • Heat Exchangers
  • Condensers
  • Vessels
  • Tanks
  • Tube

Tubular Column Inspection

  • Measure wall thickness
  • Locate Areas of Corrosion
  • Plot out defects

Ultrasonic examination of tubular lighting columns can be performed using portable testing equipment with instant results.

Qualified personnel are used to measure the thickness of each column, scan the area under test and record the results for reporting. Columns can be tested and corrosion can be detected in initial through to advanced stages.

Many columns may be old but yet still be in good condtion. Other columns start to corrode often from the inside working outwards. The rate of corrosion can be monitored at a later date before it is cut down. Columns found to be in poor condition are reported immediately to the local authority.

Testing can be carried out through the paint and wall thickness reading can be taken to within 0.5mm accuracy.

Below Ground Testing

Nortest Below Ground Tester provides a simple to operate inspection system that will reliably and accurately detect and measure any reduction in the thickness of the column wall due to corrosion or other cause.

Nortest Below Ground Tester will inspect the column in that critical zone both above and below ground level and fpor deeply planted columns can inspect down to 750mm below ground level.

 

Vessel & Plant Surveys

Various serviceability surveys can be carried out including ultrasonic wall thickness and corrosion checks in plant both above and below ground.

Welding Inspection

 

Qualification of Weld Procedures

 

Training & qualification of Welders

Our instructors are qualified to teach, and pass on all the latest techniques required for basic or high technology welding.We teach welding to approved British and International Standards and recognised codes of practice.NWWT centre offers SAME DAY testing facilities for welders who require re-approval certification in any of the four main welding processes.
