Accurate NDT services for critical oilfield equipment without damage to the component
ICO Asiapacific Group provides comprehensive Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) services to assess the condition, integrity, and suitability of critical oilfield equipment without causing damage to the components.
Our NDT services support inspection requirements across drilling tubulars, bottom hole assemblies, lifting equipment, and rig components, ensuring that assets meet operational and safety requirements.
All inspection activities are conducted in accordance with recognised industry standards and are supported by ICO's structured Quality and Compliance framework.
ICO delivers a full range of NDT methods to detect surface and subsurface defects, verify material properties, and support asset integrity management.
Visual Inspection is the primary inspection method applied to all equipment prior to other NDT techniques.
This method forms the first stage of inspection and supports the selection of further NDT techniques.
Magnetic Particle Inspection is used to detect surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials.
MPI is widely used for inspection of drill pipe, tool joints, and critical load-bearing components.
Ultrasonic Testing is used to detect internal defects and measure material thickness.
UT is a critical method for evaluating tubulars and components where internal condition is a key factor.
Electromagnetic Inspection is a high-efficiency inspection method commonly used for tubular inspection.
EMI is typically applied in accordance with industry practices such as DS-1.
Dye Penetrant Testing is used to identify surface-breaking defects in non-ferromagnetic materials.
PT is commonly applied to precision components and non-magnetic materials.
Positive Material Identification is used to verify the chemical composition of materials.
PMI is particularly important for critical components where material integrity is essential.
