Fitness-for-service (FFS) Our laboratories offer highly specialised equipment and experienced technicians, covering
all aspects of the investigative process. We have the capability to replicate the wide range
assessment of defects
of materials found on power generation, petrochemical and refinery sites including HSLA
steels (e.g. P22, CMV), CSEF steels (e.g. P91), stainless steels and Cr-Ni-Fe steels. Our SEM
facility enables us to look closely at damage observed in replicas. We can also perform
defect assessments to support the case for return-to-service.
