MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING (MT)
Magnetic particle testing (MT), is, like penetrant testing, one of the essential methods of non-destructive testing and also one of the oldest. LEARN MORE
METHODS
METHODS
ULTRASONIC TESTING (UT)
Ultrasonic Testing (UT), one of the most widely used non-destructive testing methods, is based on the analysis of an ultrasonic wave propagated in the inspected part. LEARN MORE
PENETRANT TESTING (PT)
Penetrant Testing (PT) is, by definition, the resurgence of a liquid (or a gas) out of a discontinuity in which it had previously been introduced during an impregnation operation. LEARN MORE
RADIOGRAPHY (RT)
Discovered more than 100 years ago, Radiographic Testing (RT), is a non-destructive testing method commonly used to check the integrity of a material or to probe the heart of a part, and which continues to develop. LEARN MORE
EDDY CURRENTS (ET)
Eddy currents are induced currents that develop, in a closed circuit, inside a conducting body placed in a magnetic field varying in time or in space. LEARN MORE
VISUAL TESTING (VT)
Visual Testing (VT), brings together all non-destructive examination techniques that use electromagnetic radiation in the range of visible light. Depending on the observation conditions, it can be direct or indirect. LEARN MORE
LEAK TESTING (LT)
Leak Testing (LT) is a non-destructive test method for locating leaks and assessing their importance in terms of flow or rate. This method gained its acclaim in 1942 in the United States with the "Manhattan" projects and in 1962 in France, with the isotopic enrichment of uranium by gas diffusion, at the Pierrelatte plant.

THERMOGRAPHY (TT)
Infrared / Thermal Testing (TT), is a non-destructive test method based on the measurement of surface temperatures that essentially implements heat transfer by thermal conduction and radiation. LEARN MORE
ACOUSTIC EMISSION TESTING (AT)
Acoustic emission testing, symbol AT, is a global and fast non-destructive testing method. It is well suited to applications to verify the integrity of large structures by minimising extensively intervention times and costly stoppages. It is a passive method that can monitor advancing damage of a component in operation in real time. Several codes and standards encapsulate this method. LEARN MORE
SHEAROGRAPHY (ST)
Shearography (ST), is a global, non-contact, non-destructive testing method that can be applied to complex assemblies. It makes it possible to visualize the field of displacement, invisible to the eye, of the surface of a stressed object thus making it possible to detect zones presenting weaknesses in the object or the structure.
