At KLASIC Oil Inspection Services Limited, our Visual Testing services provide a systematic assessment of accessible surfaces using trained inspection personnel and appropriate visual inspection techniques.

Visual inspection is often the first stage of an inspection programme and may also be used alongside other NDT methods to establish the overall condition of an asset.

WHAT WE INSPECT

Our Visual Testing services can be applied to:

• Welds and fabricated joints
• Pipelines and process piping
• Pressure vessels
• Storage tanks
• Offshore structures
• Marine structures
• Cranes and lifting equipment
• Wellhead and pressure equipment
• Structural steelwork
• Valves and fittings
• Machinery and components
• Fabricated equipment

WHAT VISUAL TESTING CAN IDENTIFY

Depending on accessibility and inspection conditions, VT can identify visible indications such as:

• Cracks
• Corrosion
• Pitting
• Surface damage
• Deformation
• Leakage
• Weld surface imperfections
• Undercut
• Surface porosity
• Distortion
• Mechanical damage
• Coating deterioration
• Missing or damaged components
• Abnormal wear
• General deterioration

Visual examination can also identify conditions that warrant further investigation using other NDT methods.

OUR APPROACH

Our inspection personnel assess the condition of the asset against the defined inspection scope and applicable requirements.

Where appropriate, inspection may involve:

Surface examination → Weld examination → Dimensional/condition assessment → Defect identification → Documentation → Recommendation for further examination

The inspection findings are documented and reported to provide the client with a clear record of the observed condition.

APPLICATIONS

Visual Testing can support:

• New construction inspection
• Fabrication quality control
• In-service inspection
• Maintenance inspections
• Shutdown and turnaround activities
• Repair verification
• Weld inspection
• Corrosion monitoring
• Structural inspection
• Lifting equipment examination
• Marine and offshore inspections

WHY KLASIC?

At KLASIC, we understand that a good visual inspection requires more than simply looking at an asset. It requires experience, attention to detail, knowledge of likely failure mechanisms and an understanding of the operational significance of observed conditions.

Our Visual Testing services form an important part of our broader NDT and asset integrity capabilities.
