Visual Testing Services
We inspect surfaces with expertise and accuracy
What is visual testing?
Visual testing, often referred to as visual inspection, is the foundation of nondestructive testing (NDT). At its core, it involves evaluating the surface of components, materials, or systems for signs of damage, defects, or irregularities. It’s a straightforward process where inspectors rely on their senses — primarily sight, and, occasionally, touch, hearing, or smell — to identify potential problems.
From inspecting aircrafts to examining the welds on industrial components, visual testing ensures that materials and products meet safety and performance standards.

- Surface examination: Using both the naked eye and specialized tools, we meticulously check for surface defects, corrosion, misalignment, and any other anomalies.
- Analysis and reporting: We document findings in detailed reports, including any recommendations for further testing or corrective actions.
