Frequently Asked Questions (Oragadam Region)
Which probe is recommended for testing weld heat-affected zones (HAZ)?
The Ultrasonic Contact Impedance (UCI) probe is ideal for narrow HAZ regions because its Vickers diamond indenter has a microscopic footprint, unlike the broader Leeb rebound sphere. Our teams serve facilities across Oragadam, Kanchipuram District with Rapid Mobilization (< 45 minutes).
