Visual Inspection (VT) is the most fundamental and widely applied non-destructive testing (NDT) method. It involves the direct or indirect visual observation of materials, welds, components, and structures to identify visible surface defects, alignment issues, corrosion, cracks, and other irregularities.
Applications:
Surface crack and corrosion detection
Weld quality verification
Dimensional checks and alignment inspection
Inspection during fabrication, installation, and maintenance
Initial assessment before applying advanced NDT methods
Key Advantages:
Fast, cost-effective, and simple to perform
Requires minimal equipment
Suitable for almost all industries and inspection stages
Can be enhanced with tools like borescopes, drones, mirrors, and cameras
Helps detect early signs of wear, fatigue, and failure
Types of Visual Inspection We Offer:
Direct Visual Inspection (with the unaided eye or tools)
