SGS-CSTC and GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies Unveil Shanghai Application Center for Non-Destructive Testing

GE Sensing and Inspection Technologies and SGS-CSTC have unveiled a joint Non-Destructive-Testing (NDT) Application Center in Shanghai, China.

This is said to mark a milestone of the cooperation between the two multi-national companies and a new exchange platform with Chinese industrial customers on advanced NDT technologies and optimal NDT solutions and services.

The center is located in the Kongqiao Industrial Zone in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai. It is equipped with comprehensive NDT instruments and equipment, such as ultrasonic flaw detectors, eddy currents, spot-welding detectors, X-ray real-time inspection systems, digital inspection systems, computed radiography , a microfocus X-ray system and an industrial CT system.

SGS-CSTC, a Chinese joint venture of the SGS group, an inspection, verification, testing and certification company, provided the NDT training center and service capabilities. (http://www.sgs.com/ndt)

At the opening ceremony, Charlene Begley, President & CEO of GE Enterprise Solutions, expressed her appreciation to SGS leaders for being a loyal customer and partner to GE, and she expressed her full confidence in GE’s NDT business prospects in China, and hoped the Application Center will set a good example for further cooperation between the two companies, for example by the upgrading of Chinese NDT standards.

NDT plays an important role in the quality control of welding and industrial parts, together with the safety assurance of pressure vessels and pipelines.
It is used in a range of industries, including metallurgy, oil and gas, power generation, aerospace and transportation.
With increasingly elevated requirements of quality, efficiency and safety in China, the market demand for NDT products and service is huge.
