For all your Industrial Inspection System needs

Do you know what types of industrial inspection systems are available, what they are or how to use them?

From aerospace to locksmiths; from power stations to the emergency services, industrial inspection systems are used on a daily basis to examine, identify and evaluate, often very inaccessible, objects.

Throughout this site you will find information and advice on what systems are available, how to chose the correct system for your application and much more.

What is Industrial Inspection?

Industrial inspection is, most generally, an organised examination or formal evaluation exercise. It involves the measurements, tests, and gauges applied to certain characteristics in regards to an object or activity.

The results are usually compared to specified requirements and standards for determining whether the item or activity is in line with these targets.

Inspections are usually non-destructive.
Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) or Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) describes a number of technologies used to analyse materials for either inherent flaws or damage from use.

Some common methods are Visual, Magnetic Particle, Radiography, Ultrasonic, Eddy Current, Acoustic Emission and Thermography.

During their service lives, many industrial components need regular non-destructive tests to detect damage that may be difficult or expensive to find by everyday methods. For example:

  • aircraft skins need regular checking to detect cracks;
  • automotive and aero engines need regular internal inspection to prevent or diagnose failure;
  • underground pipelines are subject to corrosion and stress corrosion cracking;
  • pipes in industrial plants may be subject to erosion and corrosion from the products they carry;
  • concrete structures may be weakened if the inner reinforcing steel is corroded;
  • pressure vessels may develop cracks in welds;
  • wire ropes in suspension bridges are subject to weather, vibration, and high loads, so testing for broken wires and other damage is important.
