Advanced Aircraft Non-Destructive Testing For Uncompromised Safety
In aircraft maintenance, non-destructive testing (NDT) is crucial for ensuring safety and airworthiness by identifying flaws or defects in critical components without causing damage. At Velocity Maintenance Solutions we use methods like ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing, and radiography to detect potential issues early for timely interventions and prevent costly damages.
We have robust NDT capabilities at our MRO (ILG) and with our mobile NDT service. Our dedicated NDT manager provides job coordination and quoting, and our technicians implement advanced methods to thoroughly inspect and detect even the tiniest cracks, leaks, or defects in your aircraft’s components.
With our mobile NDT capability and advanced portable equipment, our technicians are always prepared to perform on-site aircraft non-destructive inspections, saving time and minimizing the need for dismantling or transportation.
NDT
Non-Destructive Testing
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) in aircraft maintenance is a critical inspection process used to evaluate the integrity of aircraft components without causing damage or altering the part being examined. NDT methods such as ultrasonic testing, eddy current testing, magnetic particle inspection, dye penetrant inspection, and X-ray (radiographic) testing, allow technicians to detect hidden cracks, corrosion, fatigue, or other structural flaws that could compromise safety. By identifying these issues early, NDT helps ensure aircraft remain airworthy, reduces unexpected downtime, and extends the life of vital components, all while preserving the original structure. It’s a key part of preventive maintenance and regulatory compliance in modern aviation.
NDT Testing Methods
Eddy Current Testing - ET
State-of-the-art, nondestructive inspection method engineered to ensure safety and performance across your fleet. Perfect for detecting cracks, corrosion, and material inconsistencies in critical aircraft components, this innovative technology offers rapid, accurate, and reliable assessments.
Ultrasonic Testing - UT
By harnessing high-frequency sound waves, Ultrasonic Testing delivers precise and rapid evaluations of material thickness, internal flaws, and structural integrity, making it an essential tool for modern aerospace maintenance and manufacturing
Radiographic Testing - RT
Radiographic Testing (RT) utilizes images to deliver unparalleled insights into the internal integrity of aerospace components. Using X-rays (Ionizing Radiation), RT penetrates materials to produce detailed images that reveal hidden defects, ensuring that every part meets the highest standards of safety and reliability.
Liquid Penetrant Testing - PT
In the demanding world of aerospace, ensuring the safety and integrity of every component is paramount. Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) offers a robust, proven solution to detect surface defects in aircraft parts, making it an indispensable tool in modern aerospace quality assurance.
Magnetic Particle Testing - MT
Experience the next level of precision and reliability with Magnetic Particle Testing-a nondestructive inspection method tailored for the aerospace industry. This technique quickly identifies surface and near-surface discontinuities in critical aircraft components, ensuring that every part, from engine casings to landing gear, meets the highest standards of safety and performance.
