Whether they are food products, metallurgical or mechanical products, or other types of commodities, market-oriented products need to be continuously controlled for quality, reliability and safety. The goal of testing services is to facilitate the market launch of products, boost their value, increase their safety and reduce the business risk.
The testing activities that we carry out also lay the groundwork for obtaining any certifications of conformity to national and international regulatory standards.

Indirect Visual inspection can be used in small accessible area which cannot checked by direct Visual Inspection. Indirect Visual Inspection heavily use in pipes and Tubes (at manufacturing Stage or In Servicing Stage) Boilers Headers and Tubes, Storage tanks, Heat Exchangers Tubes and so many other , We have Fibrescope from that we can do all indirect visual inspection with facilities of photograph capturing and video recording.

LT (Helium Leak Testing)

The leak rate does not only depend on the geometric dimensions (diameter, length) of the leak but also on the physical properties of the gas (or the liquid), such as viscosity, relative molecular mass and on the pressure difference. For example: in the same environment conditions helium flows through orifices 2.7 times faster than air. Because of different results if the same leak is measured by various mediums it must be always noted with which gas a testing was performed.

The maximum acceptable leak rate for a given product depends on the nature of product. Since the cost of leak detection increases in inverse proportion to a leak rate, it follows that testing for unnecessary small leaks causes unnecessary rise of production costs.

Manufacturers that produce parts that contain gas or liquid, need to know if their products include any defects that could allow leakage. Defective products can be costly due to increased warranty claims and potentially endangering customer safety. There are several methods available for leak testing a product. The most appropriate test method for each application depends on several items: purpose of testing, leak rate specification and test cycle time.

ECT (Eddy Current Testing)

We offer following Eddy Current Testing services at customer premises and at our Lab.

• Material sorting– mix up of various grade of materials either chemically different or variation in mechanical properties or metallurgical difference in structures can sorted using Eddy current testing equipments.
