What happens in the Metals Testing Laboratory?

It is common to have periodic health checks when various procedures are performed, such as a chest X-ray or an ultrasound examination with an echoscope. However, have you ever thought that the same researches are carried out in the industrial sector, only not for people, but for various devices and pipelines that are made of metal?

Just like in medicine when looking for a broken bone, in industry equipment is checked for cracks and other defects in metal. Our Metals Testing Lab uses similar technology to fabric illumination, but stronger radiation is required to transilluminate the metal, so the machines are more powerful. Photos are developed in a special room with red lighting.

Also, probably many times we all have heard about echoscopic examination. It is a procedure during which it is possible to find out the condition of human organs, whether there are any changes, the technology is based on ultrasound waves. Yes, there is also an ultrasonic test in the industry, during which we can find out whether there are any defects, voids and other foreign bodies in the metal. And unlike an X-ray examination, with the help of an ultrasound test we can accurately determine the location, size and amount of changes. Parking assistant sensors in cars also work on the basis of ultrasonic waves.
