NDT Solutions for Aerospace Inspections

Effective nondestructive testing (NDT) is a necessity for aircraft owners, operators and manufacturers. Aircraft inspections are normally required by law under both civilian and military regulations. The reason why is simple: to protect pilots, crew, passengers, and bystanders from malfunctioning aircraft. 

Many aerospace components must be tested to ensure flight safety and regulatory compliance. This can result in a large volume of tests for companies to complete on a regular basis in order to maintain current compliance. To efficiently accomplish high-volume testing—and the recordkeeping it entails—aerospace companies rely on fast, powerful, and easy-to-use modern NDT equipment. 

Zetec has been a leading manufacturer of ultrasonic and eddy current NDT equipment for decades, which are two of the most commonly used methods in aerospace NDT. Our state-of-the-art equipment can effectively complete simple or complex inspections, ensuring safety compliance while providing peace of mind.
