Newco Inc. is an established American company specializing in the field of Nondestructive Testing (NDT) equipment, supplies, and technical support services. Operating as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), the organization functions as a full-service provider and systems integrator within the quality control, materials testing, and industrial inspection sectors.
The company supplies specialized machinery, consumable products, accessories, custom-engineered systems, and ISO 17025 accredited calibration and maintenance services to industries where structural integrity and material quality are critical. Key target sectors include aerospace, defense, military, automotive, industrial manufacturing, power generation, and infrastructure development.
Core Operational Focus
Newco Inc. acts as a single-source distributor and technical service hub for non-destructive inspection technologies. Non-destructive testing allows engineers and technicians to evaluate materials, components, structural welds, and assemblies for internal flaws, surface defects, or dimensional inconsistencies without altering or damaging the item being tested.
Newco Inc. supports the entire lifecycle of NDT operations:
* Consultative Sales: Matching application requirements to specific modalities and machinery.
* Equipment & Consumables Supply: Source distribution for leading industry brands and custom hardware.
* Systems Integration: Engineering tailored inspection setups for industrial facilities.
* Lifecycle Maintenance & Calibration: Repair, routine servicing, and accredited calibration to satisfy regulatory compliance standards.
Products Offered by NDT Modality
Newco Inc. organizes its core product catalog around primary non-destructive testing methodologies.
1. Radiography (RT)
Radiographic testing uses ionizing radiation (X-rays or gamma rays) to inspect the internal structure of opaque materials to detect volumetric defects such as voids, cracks, or inclusions.
* Standard Radiography: Conventional stationary and portable industrial X-ray systems, tubes, high-voltage generators, and control units.
* Digital Radiography (DR & CR): Computed radiography scanners, digital flat-panel detector arrays (DR), image processing software, and digital imaging workstations.
* X-Ray Film & Processing: Industrial radiography films (e.g., D2 NIF film), chemical developers, fixers, processing tanks, and automated film processors.
* Accessories & Safety Equipment: Radiation detectors, rate alarms, lead shielding, collimators, and exposure darkroom tools.
2. Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
Liquid penetrant inspection is designed to locate surface-breaking flaws in non-porous materials such as metals, plastics, and ceramics.
* Consumables: Visible dye penetrants, fluorescent penetrants, lipophilic/hydrophilic emulsifiers, solvent removers, and wet/dry developers.
* Penetrant Equipment: Dip tanks, wash stations, electrostatic spray applications, drying ovens, and inspection booths.
* Accessories: Black lights (UV-A LED lights, including Spectro-UV handheld and overhead lamps), meters, photometers, and reference test blocks.
3. Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
Magnetic particle inspection is applied to ferromagnetic materials to detect surface and shallow subsurface discontinuities.
* Capital Equipment: Wet horizontal bench units, mobile power packs, demagnetizers, and portable yokes.
* Consumables: Magnetic powders (dry and wet fluorescent), carrier fluids, contrast paints, and aerosol field kits.
* Accessories: Magnetometers, gaussmeters, field indicators, pie gauges, and heavy-duty contact pads.
4. Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
Ultrasonic testing employs high-frequency sound waves to measure material thickness, map corrosion, and identify internal flaws.
* Testing Equipment: Portable flaw detectors, digital ultrasonic thickness gauges, and multi-channel phased array systems.
* Transducers & Probes: Contact transducers, dual-element transducers, immersion probes, angle beam transducers, and phased array probes.
* Consumables & Accessories: Acoustic couplants (e.g., Ultraguard II liquid), calibration blocks, wedges, cables, and adapters.
5. Eddy Current Testing (ET)
Eddy current testing utilizes electromagnetic induction to detect surface and near-surface defects in conductive materials, measure coating thickness, and sort metals.
* Equipment: Handheld eddy current flaw detectors, conductivity meters, and tube inspection systems.
* Accessories & Hardware: Custom and standard probes (surface, pencil, bolt-hole, rotary), probe cables, and reference calibration standards.
Technical Services & Capabilities
Beyond equipment distribution, Newco Inc. maintains an extensive technical service department focused on equipment uptime, accuracy, and compliance.
ISO 17025 Accredited Calibration Services
Newco Inc. operates a dedicated calibration laboratory providing ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration services. Calibration is essential for compliance with FAA, Military, ASTM, ASME, and ISO quality management standards.
* Instrument Types Calibrated: Radiation monitoring equipment, survey meters, densitometers, optical instruments, UV-A light meters, ultrasonic thickness gauges, magnetic yokes, and industrial X-ray generator parameters.
Equipment Repair and Component-Level Maintenance
- Repair Facilities: In-house bench repair facilities and field technical services for troubleshooting electrical, mechanical, and electronic subsystems.
- Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Work: Component-level soldering, circuit diagnosis, and replacement for legacy and current NDT machinery.
Scheduled Preventative Maintenance
To mitigate unexpected operational downtime, the company offers structured preventative maintenance contracts. These programs cover routine cleaning, alignment, mechanical lubrication, sensor validation, and electrical inspections.
Custom Systems Engineering
Newco Inc. engineers and builds custom inspection hardware tailored to specific manufacturing assembly lines or unique geometry requirements, combining custom mechanical enclosures, automated handling, and specialized multi-method sensors.
Used Equipment and Trade-in Options
The company manages a inventory of refurbished and pre-owned NDT equipment, offering certified used machinery alongside trade-in and upgrade programs for clients extending capital budgets.
