Crack Detection Services

Crack Detection Services

Whether a metal is magnetic or non-magnetic, TesTex can provide crack detection services for various geometries of plant equipment. While the current TesTex Hawkeye Crack Detection Systems that are field deployed can detect a crack within 1/8" of the surface, new prototype sensors are detecting cracks within 3/8" of the surface. If desired by the client, prove-up can be done using Magnetic Particle or Dye Penetrant testing.

Scanning can be done using single sensor elements covering a 1/2” wide scan path, or using (8) elements to scan a 4” wide scan path.
