Visual Inspections

Visual inspection is a popular quality inspection method and is one of the most common Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods. It involves a visual testing of welds and components. It is capable of detecting surface-breaking defects, as many welding flaws are on the surface, these can easily be detected via this weld inspection procedure.

Inspectahire employs all levels of CSWIP and PCN Inspectors. Visual inspection is the monitoring of specific parameters by visual and optical assessments of test objects and surfaces using the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Visual In-Service Inspection

Visual inspection is a vital part of an in-service inspection, which may or may not be backed up by other NDT methods. The examinations made are for fatigue cracks creep failure, corrosion, erosion, abrasion, mechanical damage, wear and tear, distortion, and poor workmanship.
