Modern Group's New Testing Laboratory

High-Power Microscopes & Steel Analyzers

Mechanical & Chemical Testing

Impact Test Machine

Charpy V-notch impact testing to verify material toughness at specified temperatures per ASTM E23 / EN ISO 148-1.

Tensile Test Equipment

Universal tensile testing machines for determining yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, and reduction of area per ASTM E8.

NDT Capabilities

Non-Destructive Testing Methods

Our NDT department is equipped to perform all standard inspection methods required by ASME codes and international standards for pressure equipment.

01

Radiographic Testing (RT)

Digital radiography (DR) and conventional film RT for volumetric examination of butt welds on pressure vessels, headers, nozzles, and piping. Interpretation by Level II certified personnel per ASME Sec. V Article 2.

02

Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)

Wet fluorescent magnetic particle (WFMT) and dry powder MT for detecting surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. Used extensively for weld surface inspection and final vessel checkout.

03

Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)

Fluorescent and visible-dye penetrant testing for detection of surface-breaking flaws in non-magnetic materials including austenitic stainless steels, nickel alloys, and aluminum components.

04

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

Pulse-echo UT for thickness measurement, lamination checks on plates, and weld volumetric examination. Phased array ultrasonic (PAUT) capability available for complex geometry inspections.

05

Visual & Dimensional Inspection

Comprehensive visual examination of all welds, fit-up checks, and dimensional verification against approved drawings. Weld contour gauges, fillet gauges, and precision measuring tools used throughout production.

06

Hydrostatic / Pneumatic Testing

In-house capability for hydrostatic pressure testing of vessels, headers, and modules at pressures up to design requirements. Pneumatic testing also available where specified. Certified test pumps and calibrated pressure gauges with traceable calibration certificates.

Material Verification

Destructive & Chemical Testing

Chemical Analysis

Positive Material Identification (PMI) using portable XRF spectrometer for verifying alloy composition of incoming materials, semi-finished parts, and finished components before shipment. Ensures full compliance with material specifications (ASTM, ASME).

Mechanical Testing

Tensile testing, impact testing (Charpy V-notch), hardness testing, and bend testing performed on procedure qualification specimens (PQR) and production coupon samples as required by ASME Section IX and project WPS requirements.

Metallographic Examination

Microstructural evaluation of welded joints and heat-affected zones for procedure qualification and failure analysis. Grain structure assessment, ferrite content measurement for duplex materials, and intergranular corrosion testing when required.

QA/QC Process

Our Quality Control Workflow

1

Incoming Material Check

Mill certificates verified, PMI spot-checks, visual inspection of plate/tube surfaces upon receipt.

2

In-Process Inspection

Welding parameters monitored, fit-up inspections, interim NDT at hold points per ITP schedule.

3

Final NDT & Testing

Complete RT/MT/PT/UT as specified, dimensional survey, pressure test execution witnessed by client/TPI.

4

Documentation Release

Data books compiled, MTR packages finalized, nameplate stamped, certificate of conformance issued.
