NDI

SEKISUI Aerospace – Quatro Operations is certified to the following:

AC7114/3S Rev. P – Nadcap Supplemental Audit Criteria for NonDestructive Testing Facility Ultrasonic Survey
AC7114 Rev. R – Nadcap Audit Criteria for NonDestructive Testing (NDT) Suppliers Accreditation
AC7114S Rev. Q – Nadcap Supplemental Audit Criteria for NonDestructive Testing (NDT) Suppliers Accreditation Program
AC7114/3 Rev. N – Nadcap Audit Criteria for NonDestructive Testing Facility Ultrasonic Survey

Nondestructive Inspection and Testing

Load testing

Flash Thermography

Software for Infrared Thermography Evaluation (SITE) allows SEKISUI Aerospace to measure flaws and anomalies in nonmetallic composite structures. It yields quantitative and qualitative information about shape, size, depth, and location of flaws, anomalies, and bonding in nonmetallic composite structures. It is fast, calibrated, objective and repeatable. Areas of interest can be "zoomed" in on for pixel by pixel analysis. Image subtraction can be used to detect minute changes in bond lines.

Measuring

Each pixel = 0.030 in. (much higher resolutions possible)

Benefits

PRECISE – Our proprietary thermographic evaluation technique can provide detailed characterization of flaw shape, size, depth, and location.

ROBUST – SITE software provides objective, repeatable, numerical measurements of surface and subsurface anomalies.

ACCURATE – The analysis technique incorporates data normalization to reduce error caused by operator and camera variability.

VERSATILE – Quatro can inspect composite materials, bare surface and with a variety of coatings (including metallized films), bonded composite assemblies, and flat or curved surfaces.

COST-EFFICIENT – Flash Thermography evaluation provides an efficient, cost-effective NDT method that can easily be incorporated into the composite fabrication and assembly process.
