Setting up a new inspection can be a difficult task, especially in those sectors not regulated by normative. Precisely those inspections usually represent a great business opportunity for the company that addresses the problem first.

DASEL offers a Feasibility Study service to help you evaluating the best technique and procedure to inspect your component. We have large experience in the set-up of difficult inspections, using different technologies like conventional UT, TOFD or phased-array and several methodologies like pulse-echo, through-transmission or resonance.

In DASEL we have all necessary infrastructure and materials to perform these studies, like several automated inspection tanks, single-channel, multi-channel and phased-array systems and a complete set of ultrasound probes.

Some of the feasibility studies recently performed by us were:

- Evaluation of inclusions in Copper-Aluminium alloys.

- Detection of broken fibres in glass-fiber composites.

- High resolution phased-array inspection of bonded joints in windmill blades.

- Railway steel bolts inspection with ultrasound arrays

- Detection of mud sample content in ocean bed studies.

- In-line detection of micro-porosity in barrels welding.

- Evaluation of defects in graphite blocks with non-contact ultrasound.

- In-line detection of porosity in aluminium casting automotive parts.

- Evaluation of delaminations in glass-fiber composites for naval industry.

- Application of grain-noise-filter (GNR) for inspecting naval chain welds.
