Our Services
Visual Inspection
We provide non-destructive testing of wood and metals as a means to examine for corrosion, discontinuities on joints, surface finish, contamination and more. Skyline Services Inc. uses the latest state-of-the-art video recording equipment that includes a robotic crawler designed to inspect long horizontal distances through pipes and tubes. Video cameras can be inserted in openings as small as 0.250" in diameter. Flexible or rigid borescopes and magnifying systems are also used to enhance the inspection.
Spectral Analysis
Whether for quality assurance, damage analysis, or goods receipt checks, spectral analysis is one of the most important test procedures in the metal-processing industry. Skyline Services testing laboratories have wide-ranging expertise in the spectral analysis of metals and can assist you by applying their expertise and state-of-the-art OES equipment.
Elemental Spectroscopy of Lubricants
We use Spectroscopy to evaluate the wear condition of equipment, detecting and quantifying the presence of elementals in metal. This technique utilizes the fact that each element has a unique atomic structure. When subjected to the addition of energy, each element emits light of specific wavelengths. In this manner, elements can be differentiated.
Oil Spectrometer Analysis
Oil Spectrometer Analysis is performed on engines, generators and gears to identify abnormal engine/gear wear, failed seals/o-rings, cracked components, etc. Skyline Services Inc. takes engine and gearbox oil samples for laboratory analysis.
Wood Drilling Resistance
We use the IML-RESI System in which a drilling needle is inserted inthe wood under constant drive. While drilling, the needed energy is measured depending on the drilling depth of the needle. This technique enables us to inspect wooden poles and other wooden equipment.
Sound Velocity Measurement
Sound Velocity measures the time it takes an impulse to travel through a tree. Measurement values display the interior conditions of a tree.
Feed Force Measurement
Coupled with Wood Drilling Resistance, Feed Force Measurement provides very realistic results to be achieved for the evaluation of wood. The measurement of Feed Force is particularly good for hard wood species because the shaft friction is higher with hard woods than with soft woods and therefore has a stronger influence. This technology makes it possible to detect wood decay much earlier than testing with Wood Drilling Resistance alone.
