Frequently Asked Questions Category

I need ultrasonic testing regarding an unusual situation. Does NDO Nederland offer customised ultrasonic testing?

Certainly, we always like a challenge. We find solutions for the most diverse situations.

Can NDO Nederland measure the thickness of a coated tank?

Yes, that’s no problem.

WHAT TYPES OF HARDNESS TESTING DOES NDO NEDERLAND USE?

We gebruiken de Equotip-methode, die de hardheid meet op basis van een elektronische analyse van impact- en terugveersnelheid. De eenheden Vickers, Rockwell en Brinell passen we veel toe.

IS HARDNESS TESTING POSSIBLE ON COATED STEEL?

No, in that case we would be testing the hardness of the coating. It is therefore important to conduct Hardness Testing early, before any coating is applied.

CAN YOU ALSO TEST GALVANISED BOLTS?

Yes we can, we are able to filter the zinc layer out of our measurements.

DO WE HAVE ACCESS TO ALL MEASURED DATA?

Of course, we offer a report with the measurement data.

IS YOUR TYPE OF TESTING ALSO SUITABLE FOR DYNAMICALLY LOADED JOINTS?

Yes, this is no problem.

ARE YOU ABLE TO TEST BOLT JOINTS IF GASKETS ARE USED?

In most cases we can.

IS IT NECESSARY TO ADJUST BOLTS?

It hardly proves ever to be necessary.
