Inspection & Testing for the Oil & Gas Industry

The Oil and Gas Industry Needs

In the oil and gas industry, regular inspections are critical for maintaining the safety, performance, and longevity of equipment like drilling rigs, pipelines, and refineries. These inspections help detect wear, corrosion, and mechanical failures before they lead to costly downtime or safety incidents. By ensuring compliance with industry regulations, inspections reduce operational risks, improve equipment reliability, and extend the life of key assets, driving efficiency and minimizing costly disruptions. Where a component cleanliness specification applies, our lab performs ISO 16232 and VDA 19 particle counting and SEM-EDS particle identification to tell you what a contaminant is made of.
