Inspection Services Inspection Services

Our technicians conduct inspections of all kinds of industrial equipment and structures using a range of Non Destructive Testing (NDT) methods. We operate in accordance with international standards with a client -accessible database of inspection records. Mainport is proud to be the first Mozambican company to achieve Full Member Status with the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA).

We conduct Inspection and Load Testing of Lifting Equipment and NDT inspection of OCTG downhole tools and well casings. Our inspectors are qualified up to Level 2 and Level 3.

Magnetic particle Inspection(MPI) is anon-destructive testing(NDT) process for detecting surface and shallow subsurface discontinuities inferromagnetic materialssuch asiron,nickel,cobalt, and some of theiralloys. The process puts a magnetic field into the part. The piece can be magnetized bydirect or indirect magnetization. Direct magnetization occurs when the electric current is passed through the test object and a magnetic field is formed in the material. Indirect magnetization occurs when no electric current is passed through the test object, but a magnetic field is applied from an outside source. The magnetic lines of force are perpendicular to the direction of the electric current, which may be eitheralternating current(AC) or some form ofdirect current(DC) (rectified AC).

Dye penetrant inspection(DP), also called liquid penetrate inspection(LPI) or penetrant testing(PT), is a widely applied and low-cost inspection method used to check surface-breaking defects in allnon-porousmaterials (metals, plastics, or ceramics). The penetrant may be applied to all non-ferrous materials and ferrous materials, although for ferrous componentsmagnetic-particle inspectionis often used instead for its subsurface detection capability. LPI is used to detect casting, forging and welding surface defects such as hairline cracks, surfaceporosity, leaks in new products, andfatigue crackson in-service components.

Ultrasonic testing(UT) is a family ofnon-destructive testingtechniques based on the propagation ofultrasonicwaves in the object or material tested. In most common UT applications, very short ultrasonic pulse-waves with center frequencies ranging from 0.1-15MHz, and occasionally up to 50MHz, are transmitted into materials to detect internal flaws or to characterize materials. A common example isultrasonic thickness measurement, which tests the thickness of the test object, for example, to monitor pipeworkcorrosion

Eddy-current testing (also commonly seen as eddy current testing and ECT) is one of manyelectromagnetic testingmethods used innondestructive testing(NDT) making use ofelectromagnetic inductionto detect and characterize surface and sub-surface flaws inconductivematerials.
