Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) & Advanced NDT
Non-Destructive Material Testing plays a vital role in many industries. Alongside traditional testing techniques, DEKRA offers a wide range of special testing methods. Our inspectors are specialists in their field and will always present you with a reliable test result, as well as advising on whether further testing is necessary in any given evaluation situation.
DEKRA provides various advanced solutions for Non-Destructive Testing. Historically, testing of power plant components has been a large part of our service offerings. However, any component can be tested non-destructively. Furthermore, radiography, destructive testing, failure and root cause investigations can be performed.
Pressurized material is subjected to creep when operating at temperatures above approximately 400-450°C. An accurate approach of determining life time consumption and remaining life is determining the actual creep damage by measurement of the creep strain. SPICA is a method to perform such strain measurements accurately and during operation.
