Service scope
- Heat-affected zones and welds
- Thin or small components
- Hard-to-access inspection points
Inspection approach
Gripco plans the work around the component, material, access conditions and required acceptance standard. Equipment checks and calibration are completed before examination, and relevant indications are evaluated by qualified personnel under the approved procedure.
Typical applications
- Heat-affected zones and welds
- Thin or small components
- Hard-to-access inspection points
Reporting
