“Ultracon-Service” LLC produces test pieces with notches for the testing of welded joints of pipelines with wall thickness of less than 8 mm. Supplied pieces has the certificate of Dnepropetrovsk centre for standardization, metrology and certification.   Read more...

System of automated total testing of railway axels when acceptance. Permanent need for railway axels upgrading requires integrated approach to solve assigned task with the help of the non-destructive testing techniques. In this article the application of NDT eddy-current technique in SAUZK “Asle3” automated installation. Received results allow to recommend eddy-current testing technique application instead of magnetic particle technique. The replacement of magnetic particle technique by eddy0current method allows to register and store 100% data, to form NDT certificates for final axels and diminish the influence of human factor.   Read more...
