Based on its first-rate experience and expertise, SGS provides a wide portfolio of non-destructive testing techniques to locate and measure defects in products and assets, thus ensuring quality and safety. SGS’s scope of services covers both advanced and conventional non-destructive testing with a global NDT network of more than 35 countries. SGS can provide non-destructive testing services throughout an asset’s lifecycle, including the design review, procurement and installation phases, as well as during the operation of the asset.

Attendees of the WCNDT will have a unique occasion to learn more about non-destructive testing techniques during the two informative presentations on time of flight diffraction (TOFD) and hot hydrogen attack (HHA), scheduled from 10:15 to 10:35 am on April 18, 2012 and 3:30 to 3:50 pm on April 19, 2012, respectively.
