High-Sensitivity Surface Crack Detection with PT Method

Water Washable Penetrant Testing is a highly sensitive Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method used to detect surface-breaking discontinuities in non-porous materials. This method is effective on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, making it ideal for applications in oil & gas, marine, petrochemical, and energy sectors.

Our trained technicians apply a visible or fluorescent dye penetrant, allow proper dwell time, then remove excess material using water before applying the developer. This highlights flaws such as cracks, porosity, seams, laps, and leaks, enabling fast and accurate assessment.

Our PT services are regularly performed on:

  • Welded joints in FPSOs and offshore platforms
  • Heat exchangers, boilers, and chillers in fabrication facilities
  • Storage tanks and pressure vessels
  • Pump housings, piping systems, and structural components

Whether in new construction, in-service inspection, or shutdown maintenance, our PT method ensures defect-free surfaces and component reliability.
