Leak & Crack Detection on Manufactured Parts
Metal crack detection is critical to detect flaws in metals, for instance, a typical welding defect may be caused by the lack of complete fusion of the weld to the base metal, this will eventually create cracks and porous conditions inside the weld.
The use of metal crack detection involves non-destructive methods of evaluating the geometry of defects in metals. Without adequate metal crack detection, heavy loads plus continuous bending and flexing can cause metal fatigue, and this may eventually lead to catastrophic accidents.
At Synertech PM we exercise our own in house non-destructive testing of our capsule elements and welds in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials Standards. (ASTM-E-165 Standard Practice for Liquid Penetrant Examination for General Industry)
The following exaplains the details about ASTM International, formerly known as American Society for Testing and Materials, is an international standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services.
