Services
Over the past twenty years it has been All Test's objective to work in partnership with our clients to develop practical, cost effective solutions to nondestructive testing and materials engineering related problems. This commitment is supported by our staff of qualified technicians operating out of our fully equipped facilities across Western Canada. This commitment to our clients is achieved by the innovative application of nondestructive testing practices. This has helped develop All Test International into one of Western Canada's leading Non-Destructive Testing firms.

Our inspection services involve materials testing and examination of structures to ensure that materials, components, and fabricated installations meet required specifications. Mobile inspection facilities enable these services to be completed at any location.

Radiographic Testing
X-Ray and gamma ray radiography of carbon steel and stainless steel pipewelds, all weldments, castings, forgings and concrete walls and floors. Radiographic Inspection of pipeline, fabrication, storage tanks, and pressure vessel welds as well as shadow radiography of pipe for corrosion detection and wall thickness measurement. We have internal crawlers for radiographic inspection of 6" through 24" diameter pipelines.



Ultrasonic Testing
Baseline inspection on all pressure vessels and pulsator bottles for A.B.S.A. (Alberta Boiler Safety Association) certification. This includes vessel data and PSV data photographed and documented on CD or viewed through the 'client login' section of the website. Certification of all vessels, propane and oil storage tanks under the G55 (Alberta Energy and Utilities Board Guide Series) program. Corrosion surveys of pressure vessels, pipe systems and pipelines. Shear wave UT for manufacturing defects, weld inspection, service cracking and corrosion testing. Inspection of machined parts and pins. Thickness and integrity testing for hot taps on pipelines.



Magnetic Particle Testing
Inspection of welds, castings, machined parts, tools and all carbon steel materials.



Liquid Penetrant Testing
Inspection of welds, castings, machined parts, tools and all carbon steel materials.



Visual Testing
Inspection of pipelines, facilities and structural installations.



Structural Integrity Testing
We have Engineer Certified Procedures for the inspection and non-destructive testing of Derricks, Cranes, Lift Vehicles and all components including wire rope.



Hardness Testing
Digital Time TH 134:
Vickers, Rockwell, Brinell, or Shore Hardness Values of steel and cast components

Brinell Testing:
Hammer and bar method



PSI SCUBA Tank Inspection
We are certified to do annual visual scuba tank inspections by the Professional Scuba Inspectors Inc. (PSI, Inc.). PSI is the only full service visual inspection company of its kind in the world. Although it is not law in Canada, it is industry standard to have a SCUBA tank inspected once a year. If it hasn't been inspected within a year then it will not be filled.

PSI training is recognized Worldwide at the highest standard of training by, among others: the US Departments of Transportation, Treasury, Interior, Commerce, and Defense; by cylinder manufacturers such as Luxfer, Pressed Steel Tank, Catalina, Interspiro, and Scott Avaition; by the National Safety Council: by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration: by the Compressed Gas Association; by NATO; by SCUBA training agencies such as NAUI, NASDS (Canada) and PADI; by numerous educational institutions, police and fire departments, and hydrostatic retest facilities around the United States; and by the US court system as meeting the definition of has been trained.

A complete VIP, performed by a trained tank inspector, does a good deal more than look for corrosion inside the tank. A complete and proper VIP is essential because a scuba tank with problems is a disaster waiting to happen. The explosive power of thousands of pounds of compressed air has taken lives, maimed people, removing legs, parts of hands, and other body parts, and caused property damage as well. An exploding tank can literally blow the roof off a dive shop.

It is too often the case that when a tank is taken to a dive shop to be VIP'd, the staff person not only is not a trained tank inspector, but is not aware that a proper inspection means more than removing the valve, and looking inside. If you, the consumer, do not watch the VIP being performed, it is difficult to know what exactly was done or if it was done properly. One agency that trains tank inspectors is Professional Scuba Inspectors, (PSI). Inspector training takes about a day and teaches more information about tanks than you might think a metal cylinder would merit. For example, over the years there have been changes in the composition of the metal alloys used in tanks, and the shape of a tank or the markings on it might indicate that there is a problem with it.
