Visual Testing (NDT VT) : Target Customers

Visual testing (VT) relies on adequate illumination and a technician's visual competence to inspect surfaces for defects. VT requires training and uses specialized equipment like borescopes. More advanced techniques like fiber optics allow inspection of very small spaces. Applus+ offers VT services using indirect methods to inspect hard-to-reach locations with video cameras, endoscopes, and drones. VT is used across industries to find surface-breaking discontinuities like cracks, corrosion, or impact damage and provides immediate, low-cost inspections.

Visual Testing (NDT VT)


Visual testing (non-destructive testing) relies on the adequate illumination of the test
surface and the technician’s visual competence. Visual testing requires training (for
example, knowledge of product and process, anticipated service conditions and
acceptance criteria), and visual testing deploys specialised range of NDT VT equipment.
Defects found by other NDT methods are ultimately substantiated by visual inspection.
VT can be classified as direct visual testing and remote visual testing.

The most common NDT methods, MT and PT, are scientific ways of enhancing the visual
examination. The equipment needed is simple. For direct, you need a light source,
various measurement devices or gauges and magnifying devices when appropriate. For
remote viewing or internal inspection, equipment, such as a light-lens system or bore
scope, allows remote surfaces to be examined. More sophisticated fibre-optic equipment
allows the introduction of a device into very small access holes or channels. Most of
these systems provide a permanent recording of the inspection. Cameras are
indispensable for visual examination as a method of documentation.

THE Applus+ SOLUTION

Expert VT technicians at Applus+ have many years of field experience in the delivery of
detailed visual testing solutions and the preparation visual inspection NDT procedures
and specifications. We can offer conclusions on the quality and condition of assets and
equipment, as well as on welds or the welding processes used at work sites worldwide.
Hard-to-reach locations may be visually inspected with indirect VT equipment such as
video cameras, endoscopes, borescopes and visual inspection UAV technology.

Visual testing is used in all industries and at every step of a component’s lifecycle. VT
NDT can easily find and evaluate the following discontinuity types:

Cracks
Holes
Corrosion
Blisters
Impact damage
Most other discontinuities that are surface breaking or result in a deformation at
the surface
