Our commitment to keep up with new technologies in the metallurgical testing and inspection field has lead our firm toward a most comprehensive array of services to offer our clients. From elemental analysis of steel to welders qualifications to non-destructive testing, ITL has the industry certified and qualified technicians to assure our clients’ compliance to building codes and job specifications. We’ve been longstanding members of the American Welding Society and a Certified Welding Inspection Agency for the New York City Department of Buildings. Our technicians perform inspections throughout the United States in steel fabrications shops to assure compliance with all local testing standards and requirements.

Torqueing of high strength bolts with calibrated torque wrenches is only one facet of our inspections., Visual inspection s of welds, welders qualifications, plumbing of structural members, and engineering services are routine functions for our laboratory. All the above is performed in conjunction with our other services as outlined on this web site. Calibration of contractors impact wrenches is performed in the field using our own Skidmore-Owens calibration equipment. Our laboratory maintains the necessary calibration equipment to calibrate contractors torque wrenches and skidmores.

Surface flaw detections of Ferro-magnetic materials are performed using penetrants and developers. Applications can be performed in our laboratory or in the field as required. Oil base and or water base penetrants are used in accordance with clients specific requirements. Applications include: searching for flaw detection in existing structure analysis, parts for use in the aircraft industry, and military procurement contracts. All inspections are conducted by ITL certified technicians.

Elemental Analysis of metals is performed in our own facility. Computerized state-of-theart testing equipment maintains our leadership for accuracy in testing and reporting of test results. With the use of our HGA furnace, many test results of elements can be reported in parts per billion (PPB). Additional equipment capabilities include wear metal analysis in oils, paint, waste water, pharmaceutical, industrial, forensic and environmental testing.

Wet and dry method technologies are used by our Non-Destructive Testing technicians for in-house inspection for discontinuities and flaw detection of smaller size part (as shown). Larder parts and structural members, including welds, are tested using portable (powered) equipment and yokes in the field. Our testing is performed in compliance with AWS, ASME, and ASNT codes as may be required.

Testing is performed at either the fabrication shop, construction site or our testing facility by verified non-destructive testing technicians for the inspection of full-penetration and butt welds. ITL has numerous types of laboratory and field test equipment so as to test under the most difficult field situations and limited accessibility conditions. We maintain an inventory of special designed transducers which can assist in performing inspections previously thought impractical. Portable Ultrasonic Thickness Detectors enable us to inspect the wall thickness of active steam pipes, various metals, and report results on a digital readout to an accuracy of .001 inch.
