Everyone needs Excellent Service. Demand it.
At Elander we know how hard it can be to get inspection when and where you need it. Let us take care of the details. We offer direct pickup and delivery of small parts for inspection. We have in-house testing services with a full liquid penetrant testing lab capable of testing any size of part. We can also come to job sites, shops, or any other location to perform full testing in the field.
Industrial Radiographic Testing
At Elander Inspections Ltd., we realize that each client has individual needs so we tailor our service to meet those specific needs. One size never fits all! We offer Gamma Radiography with Delta 880s and the Small Controlled Area Radiography system (S.C.A.R.) for when radiation exposure must be kept to a minimum. Our technicians are certified CGSB and SNT-TC-1A and are able to meet all of your expectations.
Ultrasonic Testing
Ultrasonic inspection using both longitudinal and angle probes is a cost effective way to assure product conformance. Digital instrumentation assists in producing results that are both accurate and fast. All calibrations are stored in the instrument to allow for quick changes of probes. Elander's highly skilled technicians in this technology give our clients the confidence needed to assure accurate test results are achieved.
Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging
Confirmation of component thickness can assist in the determination of life expectancy of any part. We use the latest digital instruments capable of the "Double Echo" method. This method eliminates the normally required "chipping to bare metal" requirement. Coatings are kept intact saving thousands of dollars in time and money. Corroded surfaces can also be tested through the use of small diameter transducers.
Magnetic Particle Testing
Magnetic particle inspection is primarily used on ferrous metals. It is an extremely quick inspection for surface weld crack detection on structural steel, tanks, plates, etc. Commonly used methods are: Dry Powder, Wet Fluorescent, and Black & White Colour Contrast.
Penetrant Testing
Penetrant testing is used to test non-ferrous materials such as aluminum and stainless steel. Different test methods are available ranging from visible red/water washable penetrant systems to complex emulsifier penetrant systems. Various sensitivities are selected based on the product and customer requirements. Components can be tested in-house or on site. We are expert in setting up specific testing programs for our clients.
Eddy Current & Remote Field Tube Inspection
We offer Eddy Current and remote field testing of non-ferrous and ferrous tubes. Periodic maintenance testing can save thousands of dollars in unexpected down time and associated expenses. We offer fully qualified personnel to test and evaluate the tubes. We have tested hundreds of units of various sizes in both the refrigeration and B.O.P. settings. We use the latest technology with Zetec's Miz-27 digital Eddy Current instrument. Hard disk storage of all tube data is available for later evaluation. Reports are computer generated with all relevant findings recorded 'by the tube', with a tube sheet drawing showing the exact location of defective tubes and bar charts showing exact number of tubes with % wastage.
Mechanical & Materials Testing
Elander Inspections provides reliable mechanical and materials testing services to verify the strength, integrity, and composition of metals and manufactured components. Our testing helps clients confirm material properties, meet applicable specifications, and support quality assurance and failure investigations.
