Oil and Gas Industry
VARCHU MARC LLP Oil and Gas Testing Laboratory provides pipeline operators and energy providers with the analysis of the materials they use to transport valuable and potentially dangerous substances.
The potential for dramatic and costly pipeline failures continues to be a top concern for pipeline integrity-375 regulatory agencies, pipeline operators, and energy providers. In 2017, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued a final rule that mandates several preventative and documentation processes designed to standardize the measurement, testing, and assessment of pipeline inspection procedures.
OIL & GAS TESTING METHODS
Chemical Analysis
Oil and gas materials benefit from chemical analysis tests such as chromatography, spectroscopy, qualitative analysis, gravimetric analysis, quantitative chemical analysis, and many others. Tests are performed on many materials, including process solutions and coatings, powders, polymers, and metals.
Metallurgical Testing
Metallurgical testing ensures materials meet the required specifications for intended use with oil and gas by evaluating defects, structural features, alloy identification, and heat-treating effects.
Mechanical Testing
Mechanical testing for oil and gas materials determines the physical make-up of material and identifies its physical properties, including hardness, corrosion resistance, performance under applied stresses, bonds to other materials, and more.
Failure Analysis
Oil and gas industry failure analysis provide insight into the probable causes of failure, with a close look at contributing factors through the analysis of materials and environmental conditions to prevent reoccurrence in the future.
Corrosion Testing
VARCHU MARC LLP corrosion experts can identify corrodents and other variables that are responsible for corrosion attack. We have a history of addressing complicated corrosion issues, including stress corrosion cracking, dezincification, pitting corrosion and many other mechanisms.
