Crack Detection
Specialist crack detection using MPI, dye penetrant, eddy current and ultrasonic methods to find flaws before they fail.
Overview
Crack Detection targets the most dangerous defect in any structure or component — the crack. NDT Australia selects the right method (MPI, PT, ECT or UT) for the material and location to reliably detect surface, near-surface and internal cracking.
Early crack detection is critical for fatigue-loaded equipment such as cranes, EWPs and mobile plant, where undetected cracks can propagate to catastrophic failure.
Applications
Crack Detection is applied across a wide range of assets and industries, including:
- Fatigue crack detection on lifting and mobile equipment
- Weld and heat-affected-zone crack inspection
- Shaft, pin and fastener crack detection
- Investigation of suspected cracking after incidents
