We develop systems for non-destructive testing (NDT) using the fluorescent penetrating liquid method.

 

Semi-automatic, automatic and manual lines for testing materials and aeronautical parts.

Booths for spraying, developing, washing, inspection, oven booths, of custom dimensions for parts with size up to 2 meters

Single tanks of all types: ultrasound, penetrating, manual washing, manual spraying, stop-off, powder, drying

 

Our plants are dedicated to companies that produce for: Rolls Royce, General Electrics, Agusta Westland, Alenia, Boeing

 

Some of our customers:

Merletti Aerospace

Aster

Effetre (Precicast group) 

Non-destructive testing (NDT) does not compromise the functionality and integrity of the object examined. It guarantees a reliable, economical and quick integrity test of a piece, both in the production phase and in the maintenance phase. One of the sectors that most relies on NDT is the aerospace industry.

 

The testing with penetrating liquids is the most widespread method, and in particular that with fluorescent penetrating liquids, guarantees a remarkable accuracy. The liquid penetrates the defects (cracks) of the part, must therefore have excellent penetrability. The defect is brought to the attention of the technician when a powder is applied. Inside the defect or the crack, if present, the liquid, by capillarity, is extracted and colors the applied powder.

The fluorescent liquid after the development needs a black light (Wood's light) to highlight the fluorescence.

 

The stages of the process are schematically:

  • surface preparation (also ultrasonic hot washing)
  • application of the penetrant
  • removal of excess penetrant
  • drying
  • development
  • inspection (in line with retouching, and final in the cabin)

 

All components of our plants are compliant with the specific rules of the industry and of the aircrafts and motors building Companies, such as rules AMS 2644F, ASTM-E1417/E e 1417/M, ASTM-E1444, ASME 2015 V/7, UNI EN 10204, UNI EN 837, UNI EN 13190, EN 12100-1/2, EN 50050, CEI EN 61439-1, CEI EN 60204/1, Boeing BSS 7039 Rev B, Rolls-Royce PRES 90061 and more.

 

Plants are compliant with EC directives 2006/42 dtd 17/05/2006 and are supplied ready for NADCAP certification.
