Educational Kits

A set of miniature welds, macro sections and photo-radiographs to demonstrate the principles of flaw detection, flaw interpretation and basic sizing.

Educational kits can be made of four different materials: carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and 3D printed resin. Our 3D printed resin kits weigh just 3.5 kg, making them over 70% lighter than their carbon steel counterpart, and are easier to handle, transport and store. All educational kits are presented in a durable polypropylene carry case with high-density foam inserts to ensure total protection of the specimens.
