Visual inspection is a common method of quality control, data acquisition, and data analysis. Visual Inspection, used in maintenance of facilities, means inspection of equipment and structures using either or all of human senses such as vision, hearing, touch and smell.


Visual Inspection typically means inspection using raw human senses and/or any non-specialized inspection equipment. Inspections requiring Ultrasonic, X-Ray equipment, Infra-red, etc are not typically considered as Visual Inspection as these Inspection methodologies require specialized equipment and training.


GIT Services provide a variety of VT visual inspection techniques to multiple industries. All NDT techniques are based on interpreting visual anomalies to determine test specimen soundness as detailed by the code or specification to which the test is performed.



However, specific industries require a variety of visual inspection certifications to inspect their specific equipment. We provide this expertise through its nationwide network of laboratories.
