✅ Certified Non-Intrusive TOFD Inspection Services for In-Service Welds in Guyana
Looking for expert non-intrusive TOFD weld inspection services in Guyana? Qualitest Offshore Inc offers industry-leading Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) testing designed for in-service equipment and welded components—without requiring equipment shutdown or disassembly.
Our ISO 9712, ASNT, and PCN-certified technicians use the latest TOFD technology to inspect critical assets while in operation. This ensures maximum safety, asset integrity, and regulatory compliance across offshore, marine, energy, and industrial environments.
🔍 What Is Non-Intrusive TOFD Testing? Why It’s Crucial for Operational Safety
Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) is an advanced ultrasonic testing (UT) technique that delivers high-resolution detection and sizing of internal weld defects such as cracks, porosity, and lack of fusion—without halting operations.
Ideal for in-service inspection, TOFD offers:
- ✔️ Accurate identification of internal weld flaws
- ✔️ Real-time digital imaging with high sensitivity
- ✔️ Zero radiation exposure—unlike RT methods
- ✔️ Rapid, non-intrusive deployment on live systems
Whether you’re operating an FPSO, power plant, refinery, or industrial rig—TOFD ensures proactive maintenance and risk mitigation without production losses.
🔧 In-Service Components We Inspect Using TOFD in Guyana
Our non-intrusive TOFD inspections are tailored for in-use structures and high-stress components including:
- Offshore platform and FPSO structural welds
- Cranes, hoists, and heavy-lift welded joints
- Pressure vessels, pipelines, and flanges
- Marine vessels, decks, and hull-integrated welds
- Power generation and industrial asset welds
We inspect through coatings, insulation, and corrosion-prone zones—without dismantling or shutting down equipment.
