C.M.C. Sud

Over 45 years of non-destructive testing

Today, we are a well-established company in the non-destructive testing (NDT) sector. We provide a full range of services to industry. In ultrasonic testing, we offer conventional, Phased Array, TOFD, and FMC methods. We also perform radiographic and gammagraphic testing, magnetic particle testing, and liquid penetrant testing, as well as welding inspection and visual and dimensional testing. In addition, we offer on-site hardness testing, alloy identification, and localized heat treatments.

Ultrasonic testing (conventional, Phased Array, TOFD, and FMC) is one of our flagship services, thanks to our experience and modern equipment. We test welded pipes and structures, pressure vessels, forged or cast components, and other products made of metal or composite materials. Furthermore, thanks to our highly specialized technicians, we provide consulting as certified Level 3 technicians.
