Non Destructive Testing of Glass-Fibre Reinforced Laminates

Non Destructive Testing (NDT) is a requested tool in inspecting tanks and pipes made of glass-fibre reinforced material. Up until now, NDT-methods for field use have not been fully developed for adequate precision.  

Inspecta has developed procedures for several testing methods of Glass Fibre reinforced laminates:

• Radiographic testing
• Ultrasonic testing
• Visual testing

The NDT inspection of welds and joints is also a major concern for ensuring quality and safety of newly commissioned plants before taking over the ownership from a site contractor.

NDT is a required part of the inspection.

Benefits of NDT of Glass-Fibre Reinforced Laminates

• You meet authorities’ requirements
• You ensure quality and safety of newly commissioned plants before taking over the ownership from a site contractor.
• You avoid devastating failures by taking control of the risks of storing and processing corrosive liquids
• You get reliable monitoring and timely detection of defects for planning repairs and maintenance
• You minimize numbers of failures by identify worn out pipes.
• At the manufacturing stage, reliable NDT techniques allow you to have a more reliable and accurate control of the material.
