North Star Inspection

Our mission is to provide you with an inspection program that pays you more in terms of product reliability and protection against liability than it costs you in price.

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is group of testing and analysis techniques used by various industries to examine and evaluate the properties of a material for flaws, defects or discontinuities, without affecting the form, fit, function or future usefulness of the material under test.

Our technicians place the highest value on professional integrity.

NDT is an essential part of any project in modern industry. Testing may be performed at inspection hold points during fabrication, at service intervals for QA/QC evaluation, or at any time during maintenance and repair projects.  North Star Inspection NDT Technicians place the highest value on professional integrity and have the training, certification and experience needed to implement these testing procedures with confidence, reliability and repeatability. We specialize in the following four NDT methods:

Visual Inspection (VT)

The process of examination and evaluation of objects by use of the human sense of sight.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) including Phased Array (PAUT)

Uses an instrument that generates a high frequency beam of sound to detect subsurface discontinuities.

Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)

One of the most widely utilized non-destructive testing methods.

Dye Penetrant Testing (PT)

Used to detect casting, forging and welding defects.

Our mission is to provide you with an inspection program that pays you more in terms of product reliability and protection against liability than it costs you in price.  When you choose North Star Inspection to provide these services, we will strive to be absolutely certain that the materials and products we test for our clients are safe, quality, and fit for purpose.  When time is of the essence we will provide you with fast turnaround on your inspection needs.  When cost control is the object you can be sure that our approach will satisfy your requirements and your budget.
