Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): MPI, DPI & UT in Jazan
Non-destructive testing finds cracks, wall loss and weld flaws without cutting or damaging the item. EES applies magnetic particle (MPI), dye penetrant (DPI), ultrasonic (UT) and visual methods to lifting equipment, structures, welds and pressure parts, and helps you choose the method that suits the material and the defect you are looking for. Home to Jazan Economic City, including a refinery and heavy industry cluster.
NDT Testing (MPI, DPI, UT) in Jazan: local context
New or repaired hoists, cranes and lifting beams arriving for plant work at Jazan Economic City commonly need proof load testing before first use, and humid coastal air makes hooks, pins and welds worth a closer NDT look over time. EES brings the proof load test setup and NDT equipment to your site in Jazan, can schedule work for the cooler early hours, and documents every result.
What we deliver in Jazan
- ✓Method selection by material, defect type and access: MPI for surface and near-surface cracks in ferromagnetic steel, DPI for surface-breaking defects in any non-porous material, UT for internal flaws and remaining thickness
- ✓Magnetic particle testing of hooks, shackles, pins, lifting lugs, pad-eyes and load-bearing welds on cranes and lifting beams
- ✓Dye penetrant testing of welds and surfaces on stainless steel, aluminium and other non-magnetic materials, and of weld repairs after grinding
- ✓Ultrasonic weld testing, plate and forging checks and thickness gauging on structures, tanks, vessels and pipework
- ✓Visual testing (VT) of welds and surfaces as the first step before any other method, covering weld profile, undercut, spatter and surface condition
- ✓NDT before and after proof load tests on lifting points, and as part of periodic crane and lifting-equipment inspection when the client scheme calls for it
- ✓Written procedure, acceptance criteria and the technician qualification scheme and level agreed with you before work starts
Standards
- ✓ASME BPVC Section V (Nondestructive Examination)
- ✓ISO 9934 (MT), ISO 3452 (PT) and ISO 17640 (UT of welds)
- ✓ISO 9712 and ASNT SNT-TC-1A (NDT personnel qualification schemes)
- ✓Client NDT procedures and acceptance criteria
Documentation
- ✓NDT report for each method used (MT, PT, UT, VT) stating technique, equipment and results
- ✓Indication sketches and photographs with location, length and orientation
- ✓Accept or reject statement against the specified criteria
- ✓Equipment and consumable traceability records, with re-test report after repair

FAQs
Do you provide NDT Testing (MPI, DPI, UT) in Jazan?＋
Yes. EES provides NDT Testing (MPI, DPI, UT) at client sites in Jazan, including Jazan Economic City and Jazan Refinery. Contact us with your requirement and we will confirm scope and scheduling.
Which standards and documents apply to NDT Testing (MPI, DPI, UT) in Jazan?＋
Work in Jazan is aligned with the following standards and references: ASME BPVC Section V (Nondestructive Examination); ISO 9934 (MT), ISO 3452 (PT) and ISO 17640 (UT of welds); ISO 9712 and ASNT SNT-TC-1A (NDT personnel qualification schemes); Client NDT procedures and acceptance criteria. On completion you receive: NDT report for each method used (MT, PT, UT, VT) stating technique, equipment and results; Indication sketches and photographs with location, length and orientation; Accept or reject statement against the specified criteria.
Which NDT method do I need for a crane hook or shackle?＋
For most steel hooks, shackles and pins, magnetic particle testing is the usual first choice because it finds surface and near-surface cracks quickly on the part itself. Dye penetrant is used where the material is non-magnetic, and ultrasonic testing where the concern is an internal flaw or lost thickness. Hook throat opening and wear are measured separately during the lifting-equipment inspection. The final method follows your client's procedure.
Do you provide NDT testing in Dammam and NDT inspection in Jubail?＋
Yes. We are based in Dammam and mobilise to Jubail Industrial City, Ras Tanura and other Eastern Province hubs, working on site or in your workshop. Before we arrive we agree surface condition, access, power and lighting, and any hot-work, confined-space or gate-pass requirements.
