FKT NDT Inspection Service
In addition to inspecting your facilities, equipment and products, we audit your systems and processes. We work together with you to assess your local, global and internal standards.
Inspection covers the on-site verification that a product, asset or system meets the criteria set by the customer’s requirements and the applicable standards. It includes a wide range of services designed to reduce risk, control quality, verify quantity and meet legal requirements.
Inspections and audits fall into 3 categories
- First-party inspections: Audits that organisations carry out internally.
- Second-party inspections: Audits that organisations commission on the suppliers they buy goods and services from.
- Third-party inspections: Audits carried out by independent organisations.
As FKT NDT Inspection Service, we provide second- and third-party inspection services.
1) Expediting
Keep manufacturer lead times aligned with project deadlines.
If a manufacturer cannot deliver on time, the whole project can be put at risk, even when the product is only a small part of it.
Expediting and deadline tracking help you identify and minimise the risk of late delivery by suppliers.
Expediting services are most valuable for short lead times, critical projects, the production of rare materials with long delivery times, and new or changed manufacturers.
The stages to be followed are:
- Order status
- Material in stock and material receipt
- Design review and dimensional check
- Scheduled progress of production (welding, heat treatment, coating/painting, assembly)
- Quality control (NDT, pressure tests, functional tests)
- Packaging
- Shipping and delivery
2) Shop Inspection
Covers the inspection of products at the manufacturer’s production sites before delivery.
It is the easiest and most cost-effective way to determine whether a product, service, process, piece of equipment or installation meets the specified needs, customer expectations, applicable regulations or other specific requirements.
These inspections cover the following, as well as the product’s performance:
- Design and dimensions
- Review of material certificates
- Visual inspection
- Non-destructive testing (NDT)
- Mechanical and functional tests
