Bond Testers for Composites
A bond tester finds disbonds and delamination in composite, honeycomb and bonded metal structures, such as aircraft panels, without damaging them. Asia NDE supplies the Baugh & Weedon BondCheck bond tester across Malaysia and Southeast Asia. We serve aerospace and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) customers, with calibration and repair support from our Subang Jaya office.
What it’s used for
- Finding disbonds between skins and honeycomb core in aircraft panels.
- Detecting delamination in composite laminates.
- Checking bonded metal joints.
- Choosing pitch-catch, resonance or mechanical impedance analysis (MIA) mode to suit the structure.

Frequently asked questions
What does a bond tester do?
A bond tester sends low-frequency sound or vibration into a bonded structure and measures how it responds. A disbond or delamination changes that response, so the instrument shows a change on screen or sounds an alarm. It is used on composite and honeycomb aircraft panels and on bonded metal joints.
What is the difference between pitch-catch, resonance and MIA modes?
Pitch-catch sends sound in at one point and receives it nearby, and suits honeycomb and thin skins. Resonance measures changes in the probe's resonant frequency and suits laminates. Mechanical impedance analysis (MIA) measures how stiff the surface is, needs no couplant, and suits honeycomb and curved parts.
