SONASPECTION: EXPERTS IN MANUFACTURING FLAWED SPECIMENS AND MOCK-UPS

Improving the world through engineering

THE INSTITUTION OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Sonaspection is the longest established manufacturer of flawed specimens in the non-destructive testing and

evaluation industry, pioneering many well recognised ‘industry standard’ flaw manufacture and implanting techniques.

High quality flaws are achieved by a combination of first class workmanship, a unique blend of welding and non-destructive testing skills, plus a full understanding of the product.

Sonaspection’s flawed specimens contain purposely induced real flaws which are accurately sized and located. Each specimen is supplied with documentation detailing flaw types, sizes and location.

Sonaspection adopt a policy of setting new standards and developing new techniques to improve quality and reliability, assuring the high quality of flaws.

Sonaspection flawed specimens can be found in any reputable business providing training and certification of technicians as well as procedure and equipment development in non-destructive testing and evaluation.

The Institution of Mechanical Engineers is one of the fastest growing professional engineering institutions in the world.

Headquartered in London, we have operations around the world and over 100,000 members in more than 140 countries working at the heart of the most important and dynamic industries.

Established in 1847, the Institution’s heritage is today combined with our modern approach to international business.

Wherever you are in the world, the Institution can support you in your work and in your personal development.

As part of our mission to develop professional engineers and expand our non-destructive testing proposition, the Institution acquired Sonaspection in 2013.
