Non-destructive testing equipment and algorithms

Short description

Tekniker has several non-destructive testing equipments and algorithms to perform different inspection operations:

  • Thermography and vision cameras
  • Loss of vacuum detection algorithm in collector pipes (using Thermography)
  • Heat Transfer Fluid Leakage detection (using Thermography)
  • Broken mirrors detection (using Thermography)
