CAPABILITIES

Sheffield Forgemasters is proud to offer the most capable Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) facilities and personnel in the world.

Our Level III and Level II industry certified NDT engineering team is trained in conventional and advanced techniques including radiography, ultrasonic, dye penetrant & magnetic particle to evaluate the material properties of a component without damage.

The integrity of every component is guaranteed by the performance of non-destructive examinations using techniques for volumetric and surface inspections carried out by personnel qualified to recognised international standards.

NDT Engineers

Our NDT facility specialises in the inspection of heavy forgings, castings and weldments.

Personnel are qualified in accordance with PCN – Personnel Certification in Non-Destructive Testing and SNT-TC-1A Personnel Qualification and Certification in Non-Destructive Testing, levels 2 & 3.

Our team of Level 3 engineers develop specialised techniques, methods and procedures for the inspection of all forgings, castings and weldments.
