Inspection of Welding Ships, Pontoons and Other Structures

This corresponds to the inspection of materials, including welded steel joints in ships, pontoons and other metallic structures, using non-destructive methods (N.D.T) ensuring compliance with the requirements indicated by A.S.N. T (American Society for Nondestructive testing) in each of the following methods: Ultrasonic (UT), Visual Inspection (VT), Magnetic Particles (MT) and Penetrant Liquids (PT) and by means of Level I and Level II Qualified Inspectors in its recommended practice SNT-TC-1A year 2020 “Personne Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing”.

ULTRASOUND (UT): Nowadays, the inspection technique using Ultra Sound is one of the most widely used tools at industrial level for the verification and characterisation of materials, welded joints and discontinuities inside parts, thanks to the physical properties of sound, where its main advantages are:

  • Ability to reach great depths
  • Volumetric inspection of the material
  • High sensitivity to small discontinuities such as fissures, cracks, pores and slag inside parts and weld seams.
  • No health risks to personnel compared to radiography
  • Ability to assess discontinuities from a single side of the part
  • Accuracy in quantifying size and location of discontinuities
  • Equipment is portable
  • Assessments are fast

To carry out steel welding inspections on ships, pontoons and metallic structures, using the ultra sound (UT) method, Acuinav Ltd. has 02 Level I Inspectors and 01 Level II Inspector certified in its recommended practice SNT-TC-1A year 2020 “Personne Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing”.
