Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide Eddy current testing services in Pittsburgh?
Yes. Eddy current testing examinations in Pittsburgh are performed to written procedures qualified against the governing code, by technicians certified for the method and level under ASNT SNT-TC-1A or ISO 9712, using instruments, probes and reference blocks with current calibration traceable under ISO 17025. An ASNT NDT Level III reviews and signs the final disposition.
How quickly can a crew mobilise?
Mobilisation depends far more on site access requirements than on crew availability — permits, inductions, client-specific approvals and, where radiography is involved, radiation-safety arrangements typically govern the schedule. Those requirements are confirmed at quotation stage so the timeline reflects reality rather than an optimistic assumption about gate access.
What do I receive at the end of the examination?
A report in your required format with indications located against the component and, where relevant, against a persistent corrosion monitoring location so trends stay continuous between campaigns; raw data in the instrument-native format plus an open export; and the procedure revision, technician certification state and instrument calibration status applicable at the time of examination — which is the bundle a client or accreditation audit asks for.
Can results be delivered into our own maintenance system?
Yes. Findings can be delivered as notifications or work orders into SAP PM, Oracle eAM, IBM Maximo or ServiceNow, or onto a 3D asset model where remaining life and risk-based inspection ranking update as new data arrives. The intent is that results land where your team already works rather than in a separate report archive.
Which code will the examination be performed to?
The code governing the item — ASME Section VIII for pressure vessels, ASME B31.3 for process piping, API 510, API 570 or API 653 in service, AWS D1.1 for structural steel, API 1104 for pipeline girth welds. The applicable code and edition are agreed before mobilisation and recorded against the examination so the disposition can be reconstructed later.
Why Pittsburgh generates ET demand
Pittsburgh remains a metals town — specialty steel and mill equipment along the Mon Valley — now overlaid with Appalachian gas processing and midstream build-out, nuclear engineering offices, and heavy fabrication that never left.
Hot and cold mill product inspection uses eddy current for surface defect detection at line speed, where a missed defect becomes a claim.
Condenser and feedwater heater tubing is eddy current's core power-generation work — full-bundle screening each major outage with plugging decisions made tube by tube.
Material verification and sorting — mixed stock, heat-treat condition checks — bring eddy current into fabrication QA alongside dedicated weld techniques.
Above-ground pipeline facilities — pump and compressor stations — bring exchanger and cooler bundles into eddy current scope alongside the mainline programme.
What typically gets examined
In practice that means ET work across mill stands, rolls and cranes, gas processing plant and compressor stations, fabricated vessels and structures, and power plant components — with scope set by the damage mechanisms each asset actually runs, not by a standard menu.
Certification and acceptance in Pittsburgh
Pennsylvania in-service work follows NBIC and state boiler law; the gas build-out brought DOT pipeline regulation and API 1104 acceptance into everyday scope, and mill maintenance runs on statutory lifting-equipment cycles.
Examinations themselves are performed to ASME Section V Article 8 and its tubing appendices, ISO 15548, and ASTM E243 for tube examination. The evidence chain — technician certification current on the day, instrument and reference block calibration, and the procedure revision in force — travels with every report, because that bundle is what an audit actually checks.
Working with Atlantis in Pittsburgh
Atlantis delivers eddy current testing through inspection teams mobilised to site, working under Atlantis procedures with ASNT Level III oversight — we are straightforward that this is a mobilised model rather than a walk-in local office, because for planned inspection work that is usually the better arrangement anyway: the crew, procedures and equipment arrive matched to your scope. Read the ET service overview, see how results are recorded and retrieved, or tell us about the Pittsburgh scope and we will respond with an honest view on mobilisation.
Pittsburgh scopes are quoted from the national eddy current testing service: bobbin, array and rotating-probe tube inspection plus surface examination on non-ferrous and coated components.
