Streamlining Nondestructive Testing and Inspections Essential Preparation Tips At Sage, we prioritize safety, precision, and regulatory compliance in every aspect of our services. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a critical part of aircraft maintenance and inspection, allowing us to detect potential defects without compromising the integrity of the components. Proper preparation for NDT inspections ensures accurate results and reduces downtime. Here’s a guide to help you prepare for a successful and smooth NDT inspection: Understanding NDT Processes NDT involves a series of inspection methods designed to identify flaws or potential defects in materials or structures without causing damage. NDT methods are selected based on the specific component, type of defect to be detected and manufacturer specifications or regulatory requirements. What many customers may not realize is that the accuracy of NDT inspections relies heavily on the use of reference or calibration standards. These standards are essential tools that allow our technicians to simulate known defects in materials and components during the inspection process. Reference standards are specially designed samples that replicate specific defects—such as cracks, corrosion, or voids—that our technicians may need to detect during the inspection. By using these standards, we can calibrate our NDT equipment to ensure the most accurate results possible. This helps to simulate real-world conditions and ensures that we can reliably identify even the smallest flaws that could pose a risk to the aircraft’s structural integrity or safety. When we locate a defect during an NDT inspection, it is based on these established reference standards. This means that any anomalies we find on your aircraft or components are directly correlated with known, predefined defect sizes and characteristics. By comparing the test results with these reference standards, we can provide you with a precise and reliable assessment of the condition of your aircraft or component. Scheduling Inspections All though we have a team on standby for emergency or AOG inspections, scheduling in advance is key to minimizing aircraft downtime. Coordinate with our team at Sage to schedule the inspection at a time that minimizes disruption to your operations. and inform us about any specific deadlines or requirements. Transparency and Full Disclosure We believe in complete transparency and collaboration. When scheduling an inspection, it is crucial to provide all relevant information and necessary documentation upfront. Withholding details or critical data can delay the process and potentially affect the accuracy and efficiency of our work. By sharing the complete picture, including applicable maintenance history, previous inspections, and any known issues, in addition to aircraft or component maintenance manuals, we can ensure that your aircraft or component receives the most thorough and effective inspection possible. Preparing the Aircraft or Component Depending on the NDT method being used, there may be preparation steps required to ensure a successful inspection. This includes cleaning the relevant areas to remove any dirt, oil, or contaminants, providing easy access to the components to be inspected, and removing any coatings or surface treatments that may interfere with the inspection process as necessary. We understand that many of our customers prefer to handle these preparation tasks themselves. However, if you’re unable to complete these steps, our team is happy to assist. Post Inspection A detailed report of a successful inspection or inspection findings will be provided once the inspection is complete. Reports include any defects or anomalies detected and recommendations for further action based on the specifications. Properly document the results of the inspection for future reference and ensure they are added to the aircraft’s maintenance history. Additional copies of inspection records can be requested at any time. Requests must be made to admin@sage-aero.com.

Ferrite Rate Measurements for Superior Material Performance Request a Quote Key Benefits of Ferrite Rate Measurements in Quality Assurance Ferrite content measurement is essential for ensuring material integrity, particularly in stainless steel and ferrous alloys. It improves weld quality by preventing issues like cracking and brittleness, ensuring the durability and strength of welded components. Monitoring ferrite levels ensures compliance with industry standards and reduces the risk of material failure, especially in critical applications like aerospace and defense. It also offers cost-effective process control, optimizing alloy compositions and enhancing performance in harsh environments. This makes ferrite measurement a vital tool in maintaining the quality, safety, and reliability of components across various industries. Understanding Ferrite Rate Measurements Ferrite rate measurement refers to the process of determining the amount of ferrite (a magnetic phase of iron) present in ferrous alloys, particularly in stainless steels. Ferrite content is crucial because it influences the material's strength, ductility, weldability, and resistance to cracking. During the welding of stainless steel, for example, controlling ferrite levels helps to avoid issues such as weld cracks or brittleness. Ferrite rate is typically measured using methods such as magnetic saturation or using specialized ferrite meters. Proper ferrite content ensures that materials will perform optimally under stress and in harsh environments, making it an important factor in industries like aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing. By monitoring ferrite rates, manufacturers can ensure consistent material properties and enhance the reliability and safety of components. Common Applications In welding, ferrite rate measurements help prevent defects like cracking, particularly in stainless steel and duplex alloys used in aerospace, automotive, and power generation. These measurements are also essential in ensuring the integrity of welded components in high-stress applications such as pipelines and pressure vessels in oil, gas, and chemical industries. Additionally, ferrite rate measurements are used in heat treatment processes to optimize the properties of critical components, ensuring durability, strength, and resistance to failure. Ensure Optimal Weld Quality with Ferrite Rate Measurements Achieve precise and reliable welds by measuring ferrite content in your materials. Our ferrite rate testing ensures your welds meet industry standards, improving strength and preventing cracking.
