Non-Destructive Examinations

Thorough Non-Destructive Examinations in Houston, TX

You want to know the characteristics of the item you are building to optimize its performance. HAK Metrology is here to help. We perform non-destructive examinations (NDE) and other inspection services for customers across a variety of industries in Houston, TX, and beyond. Our ASNT-certified technicians use these methods to give indications of any existing defects that could undermine the asset's performance.

NDE is a broad category of services that assess the characteristics of materials, assemblies, equipment, and structures without causing long-term damage to the subject of analysis. It is one of the many inspection services that HAK offers our customers. To learn more about our inspection services, including NDE, contact our team to schedule an initial consultation.

Field Services vs. In-House Lab Testing


When it comes to testing, you want the best results possible. That is why HAK Metrology offers both field services and in-house laboratory testing for our non-destructive examinations (NDE). If desired, we can come to your location in the greater Houston area to perform the exam and see your operations firsthand, giving us valuable insights not available in a laboratory.

While, in some cases, we can perform in-house testing at our lab, we recommend our field testing for larger equipment that may be challenging to transport or for situations requiring more context. If you're in need of NDE or other testing, contact us to schedule your initial consultation. We can help you determine the best testing option for you.
