Non-Destructive Examination (NDE)

Accurate Insight

Without Compromise

At Thermal Engineering International (TEi), we understand that the integrity of your heat transfer equipment is critical to the safety, reliability, and performance of your plant. Our Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) services are designed to detect and assess material defects or degradation—without damaging the equipment or interrupting operations.

With decades of industry experience and a team of certified inspectors, TEi delivers precision diagnostics you can trust, whether for routine maintenance, life extension, or failure analysis.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)Detects internal flaws, wall thinning, and weld discontinuities by sending high-frequency sound waves into the material.

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)A more advanced form of UT that provides detailed imaging and greater accuracy in flaw detection and sizing, especially in complex geometries. Full volumetric inspection.

Eddy Current Testing (ECT)Ideal for detecting surface and near-surface defects in non-ferrous tubing. Commonly used for Heat exchanger heat transfer tubing. Condenser and feedwater heater tube inspections.

Remote Field Testing (RFT)A powerful method for evaluating ferrous tubing from the outside—perfect for heat exchangers, condensers, and boilers.

Vacuum Leak TestingUsed to identify tube leaks by detecting air ingress under vacuum conditions—particularly effective in condenser applications.
