Non-destructive testing (NDT) makes it possible to assess the integrity of industrial structures without damaging them, to determine thresholds of acceptability and to detect defects during condition diagnosis, in order to be able to replace or reinforce the element being assessed as quickly as possible without interrupting activity. Thanks to state-of-the-art instruments, Apave can carry out non-destructive testing of your production and structures using a wide range of methods: ultrasound, acoustic emission, penetrating liquids, magnetic particles, radiography or thermography.
