NDT Inspection Method Applicability

Visual inspection also known as VT, commonly refers to inspecting a part or material without the use of magnification (i.e., 1X power). VT can be applied alone or in conjunction with other NDT methods. 

As a stand alone, VT is done to detect macro manufacturing defects or damage. In conjunction with other NDT methods, it is essentially applied at every stage involving the human eye (i.e., reading instrument screens, printouts, images, examining surfaces after applying etch, FPI, and/or MPI.

and etch processes

We offer standalone Visual Inspection where applicable. Otherwise VT is essentially applied at receipt of material/component and throughout an NDT process.
