Expert Field Investigation Services
When things hit the fan or your components are too large too ship to our lab, we also provide on-site services to help you figure out and deal with your challenging corrosion and metallurgical problems.
Our team provides a broad range of field analytical services to help identify, quantify, and evaluate corrosion, chemical analysis, cracking, and other metallurgical issues. A brief list of our services includes:
- Field metallographic replication (FMR) to evaluate microstructure, cracking, decarburization, and other materials properties.
- Dye penetrant testing
- Ultrasonic thickness measurements
- Chemical composition analysis by XRF or OES
- Soil Sampling
- Water Analysis
- DNA and Microbiological Analysis
- On-site corrosion testing and evaluation
- Sample collection for corrosion and metallurgical assessment
And of course, it all comes with a scientific report detailing the evaluation, data, discussion, and conclusions. In the example below, field metallography was used to evaluate the microstructure of a duplex component to determine if the heat treatment was acceptable:
Field metallographic replication (FMR) is an incredibly powerful tool for checking the microstructure of materials on-site. Field metallography reveals the microstructure is the fundamental driver of the corrosion, mechanical, and physical properties of metals. Our skilled metallurgists can help you evaluate microstructures for boilers, turbines, pressure vessels, pipelines, storage vessels, and all kinds of other structures.
