Non-destructive test (NDT) inspection

Gulf Energy International undertake non-destructive testing (NDT) using

•    Magnetic particle inspection - proven and reliable, MPI uses magnetic field patterns to detect surface/near-surface flaws in ferrous materials

•    Dye penetrant inspection – DPI is the fast, low-cost means of detecting surface-extruding flaws such as cracks or porosity over large areas

•    Eddy current inspection - used to detect surface exuding defects such as fatigue without the need to remove protective coatings.

•   Ultrasonic inspection – a quick and highly precise method for establishing the presence, extent

and type of flaws in most materials.

We also offer general mechanical testing & analysis, QA/QC technical auditing, and client care courses and seminars, which can be tailored to the requirements of the individual client, as well as the following equipment and services OCTG & Tubular Products:

•    Bucking units, Demagnetization, Eddy current, Electromagnetic  inspection, External & internal cleaning, Hardness testing, Hot-spot units, Magnetic particle inspection, Penetrant testing, Pipe straightening, Protective coating, NORM Survey, Rattling, Re-facing, Visual testing.

Lifting equipment inspection and testing

Our surveys provide an accurate register and da-tabase report system covering all onboard hoisting and lifting equipment, from shackles and slings to lifeboats and off shore cranes.

•    All inspections to manufacturers’ guidelines and relevant API, BS, Euro norms in conjunction with LOLER SI 2307/1998.

•    CD-ROMS  are   provided,  with  full   database providing identifi cation number, description, safe work-ing load, test certifi cate number and details of previous inspections.

•    Surveys generally combined with those for hoisting and lifting equipment, providing full inspection coverage of all such equipment.
