Petrochemical

NDT programs for petrochemical plants, reactors, and process piping systems.

SIS provides NDT services for reactors, columns, heat exchangers, and process piping systems at petrochemical plants across the Gulf Coast industrial corridor. Capabilities include ultrasonic thickness measurement, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, and visual inspection for in-service monitoring and turnarounds, plus radiography for weld quality verification.

Petrochemical facilities require rigorous inspection programs to maintain process safety and mechanical integrity. SIS provides NDT services for reactors, columns, heat exchangers, and process piping systems at petrochemical plants across the Gulf Coast industrial corridor.

Our conventional NDT capabilities — ultrasonic thickness measurement, magnetic particle testing, liquid penetrant examination, and visual inspection — support both in-service condition monitoring and turnaround scopes. Radiographic examination is available for weld quality verification on new construction and repair welds.

SIS technicians are trained in the safety protocols and access requirements specific to petrochemical environments, including confined space entry, elevated work, and LOTO procedures.
