MISTRAS Group
Field Inspections

MISTRAS Group has evolved into an asset protection industry leader on the backbone of our expansive non-destructive testing (NDT) and field-testing portfolio.

It’s our mission to maximize safety and operational uptime for our clients. One of the ways in which we do that is through supplying highly-trained, industry-certified personnel to your facility to conduct non-destructive testing (NDT) inspections and testing on your assets to ensure they’re operating efficiently, and to detect damages before they lead to potentially more dangerous consequences.

Our field inspection and testing services include:

• Traditional NDT
• Advanced NDT
• Technology Packages
• Predictive Maintenance (PdM) Programs
• Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) Programs

Robust Portfolio of NDT Field Inspection Techniques

MISTRAS’ provides a robust portfolio of Traditional NDT techniques and Advanced NDT techniques to inspect for corrosion, cracking, fatigue, flaws, leaks, and other problems our clients routinely run into.

Our inspection services are geared toward maximizing your facility's safety and productivity. MISTRAS technicians will create an inspection plan designed to reduce downtime, minimize costs, and enable you to make more informed maintenance decisions.

Some of our more popular high-quality NDT inspection applications include:

• Acoustic Emission (AE) – ideal for through-valve leak detection & quantification
• Advanced Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) – accurately and quickly scans large assets for corrosion/erosion
• Digital Radiography (DR) – real-time Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) assessments
• Eddy Current (ET) – commonly used for heat exchanger inspections
• Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) – detects surface and sub-surface discontinuities on smooth, non-porous surfaces
• Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) - detects surface and sub-surface defects in ferromagnetic material
• Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) - ideal for detecting CUI and Corrosion Under Fireproofing (CUF)
• Radiography (RT) – adept at determining weld quality in piping, pipelines, tanks, and much more
• Ultrasonic Testing (UT) – an NDT staple, ideal for the detection and location of discontinuities, material composition analysis, and wall thickness measurements.
• Visual Testing (VT) – one of the oldest and most basic NDT inspection techniques, but essential to ensure quality control and safe operations.

Our solutions span from individual NDT/ANDT spot inspection services up through custom-tailored predictive maintenance (PdM) and reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) programs.

With decades of NDT inspection experience, we bring the subject matter expertise needed to determine the NDT inspection method that’s the right choice for your asset, based on things such as material composition, existing safety hazards, location of damages, and a bevy of other considerations.

Where We Work

We perform field inspections for assets and facilities in a variety of industries, including:

• Aerospace & Defense
• Infrastructure
• Manufacturing
• Oil & Gas
• Power

We also offer the capability to access assets in hard-to-reach areas, such as rope access, fall protection, and drone teams for at-height assets and diving technicians for subsea equipment and facilities.

Our OneSource approach means that we’re committed to delivering the right NDT inspection solution for you, on land, underwater, or in the air.
