Advanced Non Destructive Examination


Convinced with the accelerated scientific and technologic development of the third millennium, SV Engineering invested in the integration of advanced NDE inspection technologies among its services in order to satisfy its customers in terms of performance, quality, safety and cost optimization:

Our Advanced non destructive techniques are classified into two categories:

In service Control:

  •  Corrosion monitoring of shells and equipment using UT B-scan technique
  • Fatigue inspection using Phased Array (PA) and Time of Flight diffraction Examination TOFD of welds and operating equipment base metal.
  • Flow lines and under support corrosion monitoring using Guided waves (LRUT/GWT) Examination technique
  •  Follow up and inspection fatigue (growth cracks and micro cracks) piping, pressure vessels, pipelines and drill pipe, structural supports in petrochemical installations using ACFM
  •   Pulsed eddy current (PEC)

Turnaround/ Shuttdown Control:

  •  Automatic Ultrasonic testing (AUT) of pipelines and flow lines.
  • Analyses of the microstructure, surfaces, damages, and cracks using Metallographic replica analysis
  • Welds inspection using Phased Array (PA) and Time of Flight diffraction Examination TOFD
  •  Tank bottom screening and scanning using LFET/MFL scanners
  • Visual inspection using Borescope / Video-scope (VT)
  •  Inspection of boilers and Exchangers tubing using :
  1.  Internal rotary inspection system of tubes using ultrasonic immersion(IRIS)
  2.  Eddy Current Multi-frequency for the non-magnetic steel tubes(ECT)
  3. Eddy Current for Ferromagnetic tubes (MAGWAVE)
  4. Eddy Current Faraway for Ferromagnetic tubes (RFET)
