Bond Testing Services

Ensuring strong connections for enhanced safety and performance

What is bond testing?

Bond testing is a critical process for assessing the strength and reliability of adhesive bonds between materials. It ensures that adhesive connections are secure, which is essential for safety and performance in various industries such as aviation, amusement parks, and oil and gas. By verifying the integrity of these bonds, Apex Inspections helps prevent disastrous failures and guarantees that products meet safety standards.

How bond testing works

Bond testing is a specialized form of nondestructive testing (NDT) used to evaluate the integrity of bonded materials or structures. This technique is primarily applied to inspect the quality of adhesive bonds in composite materials, sandwich structures, or bonded assemblies in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing.

Bond testing relies on acoustic or ultrasonic principles to evaluate the bond quality. Common techniques include:
