In the industry since 1984!
Often, taking samples to assess material condition jeopardizes the safety of further construction operations, especially for its critical components.
Sometimes, it is also impossible due to continuous equipment operation, difficult access, or the risk of damaging the device.
In such situations, non-destructive material testing is essential.
