Quality Inspection
Comprehensive non-destructive testing, dimensional inspection, and material verification services. Ensuring your components meet the most demanding specifications with full traceability and certified reports.
SteelForge Quality Inspection provides a complete range of NDT and dimensional verification services under one roof. Our dedicated inspection laboratory is equipped with the latest technology and staffed by PCN and ASNT certified inspectors.
From ultrasonic and radiographic testing to precision CMM measurement and material hardness verification, we deliver detailed, fully traceable inspection reports that satisfy the most rigorous quality standards in aerospace, energy, and construction.
Comprehensive NDT, dimensional, and material testing services ensuring your components meet the most demanding specifications.
High-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws in welds, forgings, and castings. Automated and manual techniques with full A-scan and B-scan imaging.
X-ray and gamma-ray inspection for weld integrity and casting quality. Digital radiography for rapid results and permanent electronic records.
Surface and near-surface flaw detection in ferromagnetic materials. Rapid and highly sensitive method for weld, casting, and forging inspection.
Detects surface-breaking defects in non-porous materials. Ideal for stainless steel, aluminium, and plastics with colour contrast or fluorescent developer.
Precision measurement using Zeiss CMM, laser scanning, and traditional metrology tools. Full dimensional reports to AS9102 FAIR standards.
Positive material identification (PMI) using XRF analysers, plus Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers hardness testing. Full traceability to mill certificates.

Internal flaw detection using high-frequency sound waves. Ideal for welds, forgings, and plate lamination checks.
X-ray and gamma-ray imaging for volumetric weld inspection and casting evaluation with permanent digital records.
Detects surface and near-surface cracks in ferromagnetic materials using magnetic fields and fluorescent particles.
Reveals surface-breaking defects on non-porous materials like stainless steel and aluminium with colour contrast dye.
Direct and remote visual examination of welds, surfaces, and assemblies by qualified inspectors to international standards.
Our inspectors are certified to PCN (Personnel Certification in Non-Destructive Testing) Level 2 and 3, ASNT (American Society for Nondestructive Testing) Level II and III, and we have in-house PCN Level 3 supervisors for procedure development and audit. All certifications are kept current and available for review.
Absolutely. We operate both in our dedicated inspection laboratory and on-site at customer premises. Our mobile inspection kits include portable UT, MT, PT, PMI, and hardness testing equipment. We can deploy qualified inspectors anywhere in the UK and Europe.
You receive a comprehensive inspection report package including: test method statement, equipment calibration certificates, inspector qualifications, detailed results with accept/reject criteria, and a certificate of conformity. For dimensional inspection, we provide ballooned drawings and full measurement data.
Typical turnaround is 24β48 hours for most inspections once the item is in our lab. Urgent requirements can be fast-tracked β we've completed same-day inspections with reports for critical projects. We always provide an estimated completion time when you book.
Yes, we provide full FAIR services to AS9102 (aerospace) and ISO 9001 standards. This includes ballooned drawing creation, complete dimensional verification using CMM and manual methods, material and process certification review, and the official FAIR form completion.
