Aerocontrol Ltda.

AEROCONTROL LTDA. offers its services to the civil and military sector and the aeronautical industry in general, in accordance to the operation specifications determined by the Special Unit of the Civil Aeronautics of Colombia (UAEAC).

AEROCONTROL LTDA. performs Non-Destructive Testing services using Eddy Current methods of high frequency - ETHF or low frequency - ETLF, following the international procedures and standards on non-destructive testing.

Application:
The EDDY CURRENT method detects flaws and cracks on surfaces and sub-surfaces of ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic materials, through the measurement of electrical conductivity.

AEROCONTROL LTDA. specializes in Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing services, using echo impulses and digital and analogue equipment, probes and sensors, following the international procedures and standards on non-destructive testing.

Application:
Ultrasonic Non-destructive Testing detects material discontinuities, measures the thickness of any type of non-porous solid material and detects corrosion levels, among others.
Ultrasonic testing can be performed on steel and other metals and alloys, though it can also be used on concrete, wood and composites. It is a form of non-destructive testing used in many industries including the aerospace, automotive and other transportation sectors.

AEROCONTROL LTDA. offers Non-destructive Testing using Magnetic Particles inspection, using wet or dry fluorescent particles. This inspection method is used to detect discontinuities on materials surface and subsurface.

Application:
This detection method is applicable to all ferromagnetic metallic materials.

AEROCONTROL LTDA. offers Non-destructive Testing services applying Radiographic testing and using portable equipment following the international procedures and standards on non-destructive testing. Applied in nearly every material, leaving a permanent image for a later detailed visual analysis.

Application:
Radiographic Testing inspects materials for hidden flaws by using the ability of short wavelength electromagnetic radiation (high energy photons) to penetrate various materials.

AEROCONTROL LTDA. offers Non-destructive Testing services applying Dye Penetrant Inspection, which can be fluorescent or visible, according to the international procedures and standards on non-destructive testing.

Application:
This inspection method is appropriate for non-porous metallic and non-metallic materials and detects superficial discontinuities caused by corrosion, lack of fusion, impurities or porosities in the material tested.

AEROCONTROL LTDA. offers Visual Inspection services, detecting superficial cracks on all materials with the help of visual transmission elements, such as boroscopes and other instruments.

AEROCONTROL LTDA. is equipped with qualified personnel which in addition to their vast experience, are certified experts in non-destructive testing methods.

The Company is equipped with advanced equipment, such as:

• Probes,
• Light sensors,
• Light indicators,
• Density measurement equipment,
• Industrial viewers,
• Lamps for ultraviolet light production, instruments to measure visible and UV light,
• Demagnetization equipment.

AEROCONTROL LTDA. has implemented a continuous improvement process, involving the permanent monitoring of processes and seeking the improvement of the technical and administrative personnel, as well as the satisfaction of the Company’s clients, in compliance with the existing policies of the aeronautical sector.
