Our NDT Inspection Methodologies
Hip Solutions provides a complete suite of surface and volumetric non-destructive testing services. Our certified technicians help you maintain compliance with ABSA, CWB, and international engineering standards.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT & Thickness Gauging)
What we do: We utilize advanced high-frequency sound waves to map material thickness and locate subsurface defects.
Applications: Pipeline wall thinning, pressure vessel corrosion mapping, and structural weld volumetric inspections.
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
What we do: A highly effective liquid dye method to pinpoint fine cracks, porosity, and leaks open to the material surface.
Applications: Non-ferrous metal components, stainless steel fabrication checks, and machined parts.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT / MPI)
What we do: Using magnetic fields and iron particles, we quickly identify surface and slightly near-surface discontinuities.
Applications: Structural weld checks, crane boom inspections, and heavy construction equipment fatigue testing.
Visual & Welding Inspection (VT)
What we do: Direct and remote visual assessments by experienced inspectors to ensure proper weld profiles, structural alignments, and adherence to drawing specifications.
