Procedure & Welder Qualification at a Glance

Regular procedure and welder qualification is essential for operators to ensure operational safety, avoid unplanned downtime, and detect potential damage early. Our non-destructive testing methods—including ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle testing (MT), dye penetrant testing (PT), visual testing (VT), phased array, and mobile radiographic inspections—guarantee reliable assessment of even complex components.

Inspections cover turbines, rotors, generators, valves, housings, bearings, and blades, ensuring efficiency and longevity of key plant components.

In practice, we recommend qualification every 3 to 5 years, depending on the type of equipment, operating conditions, and operator requirements. Through our global network, we offer these services not only regionally but also internationally—including all logistical and regulatory requirements.
