Welding Inspection

A precise, strong weld is only as good as the quality control system involved and the final inspection of the part. Our inspection process ensures a welded component is up to and beyond standards and won’t fail in the field. Welding Inspection Process follows three distinct paths: Visual Testing, Destructive Testing, and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT).

How can we help?

A precise, strong weld is only as reliable as the quality control system behind it. At Rig Shield, our welding inspection process ensures every welded component meets and exceeds international standards, guaranteeing durability and safety in the field.

Our inspection process follows three distinct paths: Visual Testing, Destructive Testing, and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT).

What is Included

Wide Application: Suitable for pipelines, pressure vessels, and steel structures.

Cost-Effective: Inexpensive and requires no special equipment.

Enhanced Methods: Can be supplemented with magnifying glasses or borescopes for improved accuracy

Used to detect surface-breaking defects in non-porous materials. Steps include:

Apply penetrant

Allow dwell time

Remove excess penetrant

Apply developer

Inspect for defect indications

  • Principle: Utilizes magnetic fields to detect surface and near-surface flaws.

  • Application: Best suited for ferromagnetic materials such as steel and iron.

  • Advantages: Fast, cost-effective, and requires minimal surface preparation.

. High-frequency sound waves are introduced into the material.

. Waves reflect off internal defects or discontinuities.

. Reflected signals (echoes) are captured and analyzed.

. Trained technicians interpret the results to identify flaws.

  • Principle: Uses electromagnetic induction to identify defects in conductive materials.

  • Process: A circular coil generates a magnetic field, inducing eddy currents.

  • Detection: Variations in eddy currents indicate flaws or material property changes.
