Eddy Current Testing (ET) Services in Vietnam 2026 — ASNT Level III Led

Why Vietnam generates ET demand

Vietnam's Dung Quat and Nghi Son refineries, the offshore fields off Vung Tau, fast-growing fabrication yards taking regional work, and a coal-to-gas power transition give it one of Southeast Asia's fastest-expanding inspection markets.

Refinery exchanger bundles are examined with eddy current at every major turnaround — bobbin screening for wall loss across thousands of non-ferrous tubes, with array or rotating probes on the indications that matter.

Offshore MT gives way to eddy current and ACFM where coatings must stay intact — weld toes on primary structure can be examined through paint, saving the blast-and-recoat cycle.

Material verification and sorting — mixed stock, heat-treat condition checks — bring eddy current into fabrication QA alongside dedicated weld techniques.

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.

What typically gets examined

In practice that means ET work across refinery process units, offshore platforms and FSOs, fabricated jackets and modules for export, and new-build power plant — with scope set by the damage mechanisms each asset actually runs, not by a standard menu.

Certification and acceptance in Vietnam

PetroVietnam group specifications lead oil and gas work with international codes applied directly; ASNT certification is the accepted currency, and yards building for export work routinely host client and class surveillance on top of local requirements.

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 Vietnam

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 Vietnam scope and we will respond with an honest view on mobilisation.

Work in Vietnam is delivered under the same procedures and Level III oversight described on our national eddy current testing page, which covers bobbin, array and rotating-probe tube inspection plus surface examination on non-ferrous and coated components.
