Destructive testing

JSC DEKRA Industrial has a long-time experience in destructive testing of metallic products especially in power generation area.

Following services with the help of Destruction testing can be provided by DEKRA Industrial:

  • determination of metal mechanical and chemical characteristics;
  • verification the quality welded joints and other metallic products;
  • determination of causes of the damage of the welds and parent material of the pipe works, equipment or other constructions;
  • determination of the quality of welded joints during the certification of welders and welding procedures.
