We’re willing to back the quality of our testing and inspection services to give you peace of mind.
Pressure Vessel Inspection
Pressure Vessel testing and inspection services are critical to the safety of the public and those in the workplace. For certain types of pressure vessels, it is mandatory to undertake regular inspections and maintain a plant registers, in accordance with standards including AS 3788 and AS 4343. Depending on various factors including the size, type, contents and application, pressure vessels used in your business’s operations may present significant risk and require individual expert assessment. APEC Inspection offer hydrostatic testing, where vessels such as Boilers, Air Receivers and Pipe Spools require proof testing after manufacture, alteration or repair, and vacuum box testing, where a vacuum is created around the test vessel for quick identification of leaks."
ULTRASONIC INSPECTION
Ultrasonic Inspection (UT) is a non-destructive testing method which uses high frequency sound energy to conduct sub-surface and surface examinations and make measurements. The ultrasonic vibrations pass through the material and are reflected by any imperfections or defects that are present.
Positive Material Identification
APEC Inspection Service has added positive material identification via LIBS analyzer to its list of testing services. Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a powerful, nondestructive technique for measuring elemental composition of metals including carbon content of Fe and SS alloys as well as PMI of Ni, Ti, Cu, Co and Al alloys.
PHASED ARRAY ULTRASONIC TESTING
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) technology has become the established method for advanced NDT testing applications. Phased Array Techniques allow the user to cover a wider volume of inspection; such as being able to cover the complete span of a weld or part without the need to move or reposition the transducer.
