Critical Applications
NDT
Part & Pieces Inspection Capability Specialized inspection for surface, subsurface and dimensional nonconformances
In addition to our current long bar testing capabilities on our six surface testing lines
and two surface/internal testing lines, we offer eddy current inspection, ultrasonic inspection
and magnetic particle inspection designed to detect various defects in a formed part and/or short bar.
Bar Processing Corporation can also perform visual inspection to detect gross surface flaws,
grade verification and dimensional inspection.
Bar Processing Corporation, under the direction of its Level III Manager of NDT, has the ability to:
1. Design specific inspection criteria
utilizing specialized equipment.
2. Develop testing and inspection
procedures to customer specific requirements.
Bar Processing Corporation NDT inspectors are trained and certified
to Level I & Level II in accordance to SNT-TC-1A, 1992 edition.
Eddy-Current NDT for detection of surface defects to customer specified depths
Ultrasonic NDT for internal detection to customer specified inspection criteria
Magnetic Particle Inspection to detect surface flaw indications
NDT Part Testing -- Operators available at all locations for field testing of specific parts
