Fast and effective conclusions – preventive or in the event of damage
Non-destructive examination (NDE) is an extremely effective means for the manufacturer or operator of a technical plant to quickly analyze the quality of a product or the condition of a plant. This allows quality defects to be detected early and to prevent weaknesses causing disturbances of plant operation up to severe damage including unwelcome downtimes caused by component failure.
TÜV NORD Nuclear has an accredited and certified expert team as per DIN EN ISO 9712 in the field of NDE. The team makes use of a wide variety of testing equipment. Furthermore, the experts also assess NDE techniques and provide advice and assistance in preparing specifications and inspection instructions. Outside the nuclear field, they also offer supervisory services in NDE to manufacturers and plant operators.
