Visual Test in Detail

Visual Testing (VT) is the first and most essential step in any inspection program. As a non-destructive testing method, VT involves the careful visual examination of components to detect surface-level defects such as cracks, porosity, corrosion, warping, incomplete welds, and dimensional mismatches. Though simple in approach, when performed by trained professionals using the right tools, VT can prevent major failures and ensure manufacturing quality.

At 2R Inspection, our certified inspectors conduct both direct visual inspection (with the naked eye or magnification) and indirect/remote visual inspection using tools like borescopes, mirrors, drones, and cameras — especially in confined or high-risk environments. We follow international standards such as ASME Section V, AWS D1.1, and ISO 17637 to deliver precise, code-compliant results. VT is often the first line of defense in quality control, pre-service checks, and maintenance programs. Our detailed reports and photographic documentation help clients take early action before minor issues escalate. With 2R Inspection, visual testing becomes a trusted foundation for ensuring structural integrity, safety, and continuous performance.
