Non-destructive testing, mechanical integrity and conformity assessment services for static equipment and piping systems in refineries, oil-gas processing facilities and thermal/combined-cycle power plants.
Refineries and power generation facilities are critical assets dominated by static equipment operating under high temperature, high pressure, hydrogen- and sulphur-bearing fluids and sustained loading. In these plants, tracking pressure vessels, columns, heat exchangers, furnace coils, storage tanks and process piping through non-destructive testing (NDT) from fabrication through commissioning and in-service operation is fundamental to preventing unplanned shutdowns and safeguarding personnel. TÜV AUSTRIA SILA KALİTE provides inspection capability covering the full lifecycle, from examination of weld seams to detection of cracking, corrosion and wall-thinning mechanisms arising in service, applicable both on site and under mobile laboratory conditions.
Our services produce results that allow permanent recording and re-evaluation through advanced techniques such as Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) and digital radiography, alongside conventional surface and volumetric methods. Time-sensitive inspection packages for shutdown/turnaround maintenance, conformity activities under the pressure equipment directive, and wall-thickness measurements feeding risk-based inspection (RBI) frameworks are delivered from a single source. All reporting is traceable, based on internationally accepted acceptance criteria, and prepared to serve as direct input to the client's asset integrity management system.

- Advanced Non-Destructive TestingHigh-precision, imaging-based and fast NDT using advanced technologies such as Phased Array, TOFD, digital radiography, corrosion mapping and crawler systems.
- Radiographic TestingA method in which X-rays or gamma rays are used to image internal voids, thickness and density variations of a material on a radiation-sensitive film.
- Ultrasonic TestingA non-destructive testing method that determines the location, size and type of discontinuities by making use of the reflections of high-frequency sound waves within the material.
- Corrosion MappingReliable inspection of pressure vessels, tanks and pipelines through ultrasonic corrosion mapping that covers the entire area instead of localised spot checks.
- Inspection of Storage TanksInspection of atmospheric storage tanks in accordance with the API 650 / API 620 construction standards and the API 653 in-service maintenance standard.
