Information about Flaw Detectors

Flaw detectors are non-destructive testing instruments that can detect or measure defects in raw materials or finished products. Depending on the specific technique used, a wide variety of defects can be located such as surface cracks, subsurface flaws, pores / voids, internal corrosion, coating holidays, debonding, weld defects and packaging defects. Three important parameters to consider when searching for flaw detectors include the instrument type or technology, operating specifications, and additional specifications and features.

Products & Services Related to Flaw Detectors

Corrosion and Electrochemical Instruments

Corrosion and electrochemical instruments use a variety of methods to detect and measure corrosion and electrochemical conditions in plant machinery, field equipment, batteries, fuel cells, colloids, and other solutions or systems.

Eddy Current Instruments

Eddy current instruments are nondestructive testing (NDT) devices that induce detectable eddy currents in conductive materials. They are used to detect flaws, determine thickness, inspect welds, measure conductivity, and sort alloys.

Nondestructive Testing (NDT) Conductivity and Resistivity Meters

Non-destructive testing (NDT) conductivity meters and resistivity meters are devices for measuring electrical conductivity and/or resistivity of solid media to determine the characteristics of its constituent materials.

Nondestructive Testing (NDT) Equipment

Non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment is used to detect, inspect, and measure flaws, bond integrity, and other material conditions without permanently altering or destroying the examined part or product.

Nondestructive Testing (NDT) Material Testers

Non-destructive testing (NDT) material testers are devices, machines and equipment that are used to determine residual stress, alloy type, hardness, microstructure, elasticity, heat treatment and other material conditions without permanently altering or destroying the material being examined.

Ultrasonic Instruments

Ultrasonic instruments use beams of high frequency, short wave signals to inspect, monitor, and measure materials and components.

X-ray Instruments and X-ray Systems

X-ray instruments and X-ray systems use penetrating X-rays or gamma radiation to capture images of the internal structure of a part or finished product.
