Why We Use UltraAnalytix®

When it comes to Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GRP) inspections, the conventional methods often fall short of providing the scientific and engineering criteria essential for accurate assessments. 

Make smart, informed data-driven decisions by choosing UltraAnalytix , a revolutionary approach to prevent or postpone costly equipment replacement or unscheduled shutdowns.

Inspection with UltraAnalytix

✓      Certified NDT Inspection:

UltraAnalytix follows the highest standards, aligning with SNT-TC-1A for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT).

✓      Objective and Data-Driven:

UltraAnalytix uses precise measurements, avoiding the errors of subjective evaluations

      No Plant Shutdown Required:

UltraAnalytix inspections fit into your schedule without stopping operations, providing detailed data on corrosion barriers and structural layers to help decide the asset’s remaining service life.

 

Traditional GRP Inspection

X       No Scientific Basis:

Historically, GRP inspections lacked scientific or engineering standards, leaving assessments open to interpretation.

X       Subjective Assessment:

Different inspectors may have varying opinions due to the lack of standard criteria.

X      Visual Internal Inspection:

These inspections determine remaining service life based on the corrosion barrier surface condition.
