Gripco Inspection Services
Shear Wave
Angle-beam shear-wave testing refracts sound through the component at a selected angle, making it effective for examining weld volumes and planar discontinuities.
Service scope
- Full-penetration weld inspection
- Crack and lack-of-fusion detection
- Nozzle, structural and piping welds
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
- Full-penetration weld inspection
- Crack and lack-of-fusion detection
- Nozzle, structural and piping welds
Reporting
Reports identify refracted angle, probe, calibration, scan plan, indication position and evaluation to the governing criteria.
