Nondestructive Testing (NDT)
Nondestructive Testing (NDT) refers to the evaluation of welded components and metal materials for internal or surface defects without compromising their structural integrity. It is widely applied in quality control for welded parts, metal materials, and structural components, playing a critical role in industries such as steel structures, pipelines, pressure vessels, bridges, ships, and energy equipment.
As a specialized service provider in welding and engineering projects, Shanghai Allmark Inspection Technology Co., LTD. has accumulated profound expertise in the field of welding engineering, offering comprehensive, standardized, and professional NDT services to help clients ensure structural safety and product quality in various engineering projects.
We offer the following mainstream NDT methods:
Ultrasonic Testing (UT): Utilizes high-frequency sound waves to detect internal defects such as cracks, porosity, and slag inclusions in welds or base materials. Suitable for most metal materials, it offers deep penetration and high sensitivity.
Radiographic Testing (RT): Employs X-rays or gamma rays to capture images of internal weld defects based on differential absorption. Commonly used for quality control in critical components like thick-walled pipelines and pressure vessels.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT): Magnetizes ferromagnetic materials to detect surface or near-surface defects such as cracks and slag inclusions by observing magnetic particle accumulation. Simple operation and precise localization.
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT): Applicable to non-ferromagnetic materials (e.g., stainless steel, aluminum alloys). Penetrant liquid seeps into defects, and a developer reveals their locations. Ideal for detecting surface micro-cracks.
Eddy Current Testing (ET): Based on electromagnetic induction to inspect conductive materials for surface and near-surface anomalies like cracks and corrosion. Widely used in aviation, petrochemical, and boiler tube industries.
NDT is applicable to various engineering projects such as steel structures, pipelines, pressure vessels, and ships, effectively ensuring product quality and enhancing safety.

Shanghai Allmark offers NDT personnel training and certification examinations in accordance with Canadian (CAN/CGSB-48.9712), international (ISO 9712), and American (SNT-TC-1A) standards. Training covers a range of NDT methods, including RT, UT, MT, PT, VT, TOFD, PA, and DR (Levels 1-3).
Visual Testing (VT) is the most fundamental and intuitive quality inspection method, typically used for preliminary quality assessments in welding, casting, forging, and other processes.
Within the NDT framework, Visual Testing (VT) is the most basic and straightforward method, frequently serving as a preliminary step to other NDT techniques. It is used for initial quality evaluations of products from welding, casting, forging, and other processes. Shanghai Allmark integrates VT into standardized procedures, combining extensive field experience with professional tools to deliver efficient and accurate quality control solutions for clients.
Inspection Content:
Weld Appearance Inspection: Identifies common surface defects such as cracks, porosity, slag inclusions, lack of fusion, and irregular undercut to promptly assess compliance with design and standard requirements.
Dimensional Measurements: Ensures geometric accuracy and installation compatibility by measuring weld size, reinforcement, misalignment, groove angle, root gap, and other parameters.
Corrosion and Surface Damage Inspection: Examines surface issues such as rust, oxidation, impact damage, scratches, pits, and coating detachment to evaluate component lifespan and maintenance needs.
Tools Used:
VT relies not only on visual observation but also incorporates professional tools such as magnifiers, weld gauges, weld measurement scales, rulers, protractors, and flashlight illumination devices to enhance precision and efficiency across various working conditions.
As the first critical step in quality control for each engineering project, Visual Testing is an indispensable part of our inspection services. Shanghai Allmark is committed to meticulous inspection practices and systematic testing protocols to build a solid safety foundation for every client.
