A Sound Level of Service
Ultrasonics is a time-tested industry-standard method of pipeline testing. Pro Integrity NDT® is very experienced in the operation of Ultrasonic equipment used to detect internal and external defects in welding, materials, and components.
Ultrasonics is a proven method of detecting anomalies in welding, plate, pipe, forgings, and other components. Using Ultrasonics, Pro Integrity NDT can provide complete volumetric coverage for welds or material inspection. We can also use it to detect lack of bonding in clad and overlaid components.
