NDT Method

What is Visual Inspection?

Visual Inspection is the systematic examination of components for defects, corrosion and damage — the foundation of all NDT.

Overview

Visual Inspection (VT) is the systematic examination of welds, structures and equipment by a certified inspector, often aided by gauges and borescopes. It is the first and most fundamental step in any inspection program.

Effective VT depends on trained inspectors who know what to look for and how to document it.

What VT Covers

  • Weld profile and workmanship
  • Corrosion and coating condition
  • Distortion, wear and damage
  • Pre- and post-repair verification
