GENERAL NDT
Ultrasonic Inspection is a non-destructive testing method capable of detecting both surface and sub-surface flaws in components and welds.
Magnetic particle inspection (MT) is a non-destructive testing method used to detect surface and slightly subsurface flaws in ferromagnetic materials (such as carbon steel).
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) is used to detect casting, forging and welding surface defects such as hairline cracks, surface porosity, leaks in new products, and fatigue cracks on in-service components.
POSITIVE MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION -PMI
Positive Material Identification (PMI) is the analysis of a metallic alloy to establish composition by reading the percentage quantities of its constituent elements.

Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) covers a range of ultrasonic inspection techniques using powered, mechanical scanners to locate inherent defects within a given material.
Welds and weld overlays, piping, pressure vessels, clad material, storage tanks and structural steel
Raised face flanges for damage on the ID bore and sealing face without having to disassemble them.
This ultrasonic inspection is commonly performed on welds and weld overlays, piping, pressure vessels, clad material, storage tanks and structural steel.
KAOTHEEM APPLIES AUBT TO INSPECT pressure vessels and piping for High Temperature Hydrogen Attack (HTHA).
KAOTHEEM inspects in-service raised face flanges with phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT); we detect bore wall loss and flange face damage without having to disassemble flanges.
