non-destructive testing

examining materials without changing or destroying their usefulness

Magnetic Particle Indication Our MPI equipment uses a magnetic flux to detect defects in carbon steel.

Dye Penetrant Dye penetrant is an NDT technique used for detecting defects in polymers, plastics, stainless steels, or titanium.

Ultrasonic Inspection This uses a specialised ultrasonic scanner to check for any sub-surface cracks or defects. The equipment emits a sound wave through the material and the subsequent reflected wave can be measured to give a location and dimension of any defects that may be present. Ultrasonic testing can be done in situ during outages, or on equipment that comes into our workshop.

XRF Material Analysis X-Ray Radiant Fluorescence is used to identify the make-up of a material. It provides detail regarding the constituent percentage of all minerals determined at the test site - which is useful to identify what the material actually is. It can also determine if contaminants from processes are present - allowing the source of the contaminants to be identified. This test can also be applied to weld failures.

Through Allied Technical Services, Allied Industrial Engineering (AIE) has the above NDT services available in-house. Where statutory requirements require an independent party to test work, AIE can also arrange for third party inspection.

Turbine diaphragm repairs and rotor blading replacement ATS engages in power generation repair and refurbishment. We can repair or rebuild your turbine rotor blading and diaphragms.

Heat treatment services ATS has in-house heat treatment equipment that is used for a range of actions - such as relaxing stresses in materials pre and post fabrication or hardening/treating material post machining.

Technical procedure and maintenance plan writing We can assist clients to get their procedural documents in order - from drawings to procedures and safety documents

Root Cause Analysis studies Root cause analysis is about investigating possible causes of issues.  ATS has a range of monitoring equipment available to be used during root cause analysis.
