Mechanical Integrity Software Q&A

Yes. NDT Integrity is built for inspection companies, NDE contractors, API inspectors, pipeline integrity teams, tank integrity groups, rope access providers, engineering firms, and owner-users that perform or manage mechanical integrity services. The software helps those teams organize field data, API reports, CML readings, drawings, photos, calculations, pipeline digs, C-Scan data, Guided Wave 2.0 records, attachments, and final client deliverables.

Mechanical integrity testing can involve equipment condition review, API 510, API 570, and API 653 inspections, NDT methods, CML thickness readings, corrosion evaluation, pressure-boundary assessment, drawings, photos, recommendations, and final reporting. NDT Integrity helps inspection companies and mechanical integrity teams organize the documentation, calculations, CML data, photos, drawings, and report packages connected to those workflows.

Tank integrity inspection intervals depend on the applicable code or standard, tank service, corrosion rate, inspection history, owner-user program, engineering review, and regulatory or client requirements. NDT Integrity supports tank integrity and API 653 documentation by helping inspection teams manage tank data, CML readings, settlement information, photos, drawings, calculations, recommendations, and final report packages.

NDT Integrity provides inspection reporting, mechanical integrity, NDT documentation, pipeline integrity, C-Scan, Guided Wave 2.0, and SketchMapp software for inspection and engineering teams. Engineering decisions, final acceptance, repair disposition, and professional engineering review remain the responsibility of qualified engineers, owner-users, and authorized project personnel.

Non-destructive testing methods evaluate materials, welds, pressure equipment, tanks, piping, and pipelines without damaging the asset. Common NDT methods include ultrasonic testing, radiography, magnetic particle testing, liquid penetrant testing, visual inspection, Guided Wave, C-Scan, AUT, and other inspection techniques. NDT Integrity helps document NDT results, photos, drawings, CML data, calculations, findings, and final reports in one software workflow.

NDT Integrity is both. It supports mechanical integrity workflows such as API 510, API 570, API 653, pipeline integrity, inspection documentation, report building, and asset data organization, while also supporting NDT reporting workflows such as UT, C-Scan, AUT, Guided Wave 2.0/GUL, photos, drawings, technique sheets, and field documentation.

NDT Integrity brings inspection data management, CML/thickness tracking, calculations, drawing/sketch mapping, photos, technique sheets, attachments, and report building into one workflow. The goal is to reduce duplicate data entry and help inspection teams produce consistent, professional deliverables.

No. NDT Integrity is a productivity, review, calculation-presentation, mapping, and documentation platform. Qualified inspectors, NDE personnel, Level III reviewers, engineers, operators, and owner-users remain responsible for scan interpretation, final acceptance, repair decisions, engineering disposition, and client issue.

Yes. The API Inspection module supports equipment setup, CML data, calculations, checklists, photo logs, NDT methods used, technique documentation, attachments, and client-ready API report packages for piping, vessels, and tanks.

The Pipeline Module is built for pipeline dig reporting and integrity assessment. It supports pipe data, girth-weld datum layout, anomaly entry, UT grids, B31G, Modified B31G, RSTRENG/effective-area style reporting, repairs, coating documentation, photo logs, and interactive HTML deliverables where enabled.

Reports are dynamic. Project data, equipment data, CMLs, calculations, drawings, photos, attachments, recommendations, and review items are carried into a professional report package instead of being manually copied into a static Word or PDF template.

Yes. Final outputs can include PDF reports, drawings, photo logs, calculations, attachments, ZIP packages, and, for pipeline/C-scan workflows where enabled, an interactive HTML deliverable that can be opened without installing the desktop program.

SketchMapp is the drawing-focused workflow for piping, vessel, and tank inspection layouts. It is used to create CML maps, NDT method locations, findings, supports, welds, labels, and report-ready sketches tied to inspection documentation.

It is a standalone encoded scan workflow for AUT, HydroFORM, and C-Scan style data. It focuses on scan import, bulk import, stitching, indication extraction, review queue management, source traceability, report tables, photos, and standalone AUT/Encoded C-Scan reports.

Tiles are positioned by scan size, increments, orientation, datum/reference labels, scan origin, and user placement controls. The software supports bulk import, visual arrangement, offset adjustment, overlap review, flip controls, and source-tile retention so the final stitched map remains traceable.

Each reportable indication can retain scan package, source file, tile/pass, component/surface, X/Y or axial/circumferential location, clock reference, minimum wall thickness, percent loss, size, review status, linked grid/profile, and linked assessment result when available.

No. Acquisition and raw data capture remain with the inspection instrument and OEM software. NDT Integrity focuses on import, mapping, review organization, indication sizing support, reporting, traceability, and engineering-assessment linkage.

The software improves speed, consistency, and traceability, but it does not remove the need for qualified review. Poor scan quality, bad calibration, gate setup errors, surface/geometry limitations, questionable backwall response, incomplete coverage, or incomplete project data must be resolved by qualified personnel before final client issue.
