NDT Procedures

Insure the quality and consistency of your inspections through the use of clearly written NDT procedures.  NDT-CGI maintains a library of NDT procedures covering most techniques and industries.  Procedures can be written specifically for your needs and are deliverable in electronic format.

Listed below are some of the procedure we can supply.  If the procedure you require is not listed here please contact us at info@ndt-cgi.com.

Procedure Review

If you already have written your NDT procedures, we can review them to insure that they meet the applicable codes.  William Blum, has conducted more than 880 reviews of 465 individual procedures submitted by organizations from throughout the world. He co-authored the article “Successful NDT Procedure Development” printed in the October 1997 issue of Materials Evaluation. Procedures can be submitted via the internet for quick review.
