Depending upon the actual operating and environmental conditions, material properties of power generating equipment degrades as a function of service life due to one or more of the time dependent material damage mechanisms such as Creep, Fatigue, Corrosion, Wear, Embrittlement, Electro chemical and Electro mechanical. Due to these material degradation & failure mechanisms, catastrophic breakdowns can occur on power equipment. The following NDT tests can help in initiating timely preventive measures by way of proper maintenance / refurbishment actions.

• Ultrasonic testing
• Radiographic testing
• Magnetic Particle (MPI) testing
• Dye Penetration (DP) Inspection
• Digital ultrasonic thickness measurement
