Visual Tests

Visual Testing (VT) is a basic and cost-effective method of inspection and is used to obtain a quick indication of the sample or asset being inspected. It is the process of looking at a piece of equipment using the naked eye to verify overall integrity. No special tools are required.

Benefits of Visual Testing

• Cost effective testing of materials
• Regular tests increase reliable operation
• Prevents costly downtime and repairs
• Reduced downtime and productivity

About Visual Testing

Visual Testing is one of the most common NDT methods for performing quality control of a product or component during or after a new build. After commissioning, visual testing is done for periodic and non-periodic inspections. Visual testing can be done in direct mode (with the naked eye) or an indirect method, with mirrors, cameras and other equipment, also called advanced visual testing.

It is sometimes viewed as the easiest NDT method, but it is not necessary, as specific tools and equipment are not often needed for visual testing. It should be performed by trained NDT operators or inspectors who have experience with the object being inspected. Using reference catalogs of the most common errors and malfunctions, EUROLABHelps visual testers judge the condition of the material. Visual testing is often used in conjunction with a second volumetric NDT method.

EUROLAB's efficient visual testing methods are used for:

• Material, welding, casting, product etc. All stages of production
• Machinery, equipment, engines, turbines, airplanes etc.
• Periodic and non-periodic industrial inspections in power plants; boilers, containers, barrels, pipelines, etc.
• Reactors, pipelines, storage tanks, heat exchangers etc. in the oil and gas industry. Periodic and non-periodic industrial inspections, including.
• Periodic and non-periodic industrial inspections in the chemical industry, including pumps, buried pipes and chemical storage
• Public transport, trains, ships, buses and trams
• Buildings and structures such as bridges, oil platforms, and windmills
