Non-Destructive Testing

Non-destructive testing of welds and hull structures, defect detection and ultrasonic thickness measurements. ASABA's laboratory combines VT, MT, PT and UT for comprehensive inspection during shipbuilding, repair and maintenance. The method, inspection subject and programme are selected to meet the technical requirements.

Inspection Methods

  • Visual testing (VT).
  • Magnetic particle testing (MT).
  • Penetrant testing (PT).
  • Ultrasonic testing (UT).
  • Eddy current testing (ET) — a Level II certified specialist; testing arrangements are agreed for each project.
  • Surface contact check (Blue test) — assessment of the contact quality when fitting the propeller to the tail shaft.
  • Ultrasonic thickness measurement.

Watertightness and Leak Testing

  • Water filling.
  • Compressed air.
  • Penetrant leak testing.

Classification Society Approvals

ABS approval for NDT covers UT, PT, MT and VT. ABS approval for Hull Gauging is limited to vessels outside the ESP and ESDC programmes. The Bureau Veritas certificate covers thickness measurements and reporting for BV-classed ships and mobile offshore units. These scopes are not interchangeable: applicability is checked before each order begins.

Facilities & Infrastructure

Inspection Laboratory

Technical parameters are provided for preliminary assessment. Suitability for a particular vessel, equipment item and project is confirmed by the shipyard when agreeing the work.
