Technical Inquiry: Q&A

Question

"What non-destructive testing (NDT) protocols are recommended for validating the structural integrity of used steel procured from pallet racking auctions in Austin, TX?"

Ananya Joshi Industrial Liquidations Manager

Recommissioning auctioned steel requires stringent visual and magnetic particle inspections to detect microscopic weld fractures, plastic deformation in the load beams, and torsional twisting in the uprights. Any component exhibiting a deflection exceeding 1/2 inch per 10 feet of length must be culled to meet safety tolerances.
