At VAPQ Real Defect, we design and manufacture realistic flawed specimens that accurately simulate material defects encountered in real-world industrial environments. These specimens are essential for NDT personnel training, equipment validation, and procedure qualification—ensuring accurate flaw detection and consistent inspection performance.
Our specimens are available in various materials, sizes, and defect types to replicate welding flaws, corrosion, cracks, inclusions, and laminations. Each piece is crafted using precision EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) and other advanced techniques to ensure authenticity and repeatability.

NDT flawed specimens are used for training, certification, and performance validation of inspectors and equipment by replicating real-world defects such as cracks, porosity, corrosion, and lack of fusion.
VAPQ manufactures specimens using controlled defect simulation techniques, ensuring each flaw closely mimics actual material discontinuities while adhering to ASME, ASTM, and ISO standards.
Yes. We design custom flawed specimens based on client requirements — including material type, defect size, orientation, and depth — for applications in oil & gas, aerospace, marine, automotive, and power sectors.
