Product Details

Metallurgical Degradation Assessment Tester for Pressure Equipment PMT-1000

Pressure Equipment Safety Assessment Indentation Tester identifying hardness drop from metallurgical degradation

Product Summary

The PMT-1000 Portable Nondestructive Indentation Tester is designed to identify hardness drops caused by metallurgical degradation, such as graphitization and spheroidization, which can compromise pressure equipment safety. By detecting these changes early, it enables timely maintenance and life-extension decisions.

This instrument is part of Wuxi Zhanghua's indentation-based testing line, recognized with a gold medal at the Geneva International Invention Exhibition.

Key Features

Degradation Detection: Identifies hardness drops due to graphitization, spheroidization, and other metallurgical changes, providing early warnings.
Nondestructive & Portable: Enables on-site testing without damaging equipment, ideal for in-service inspections.
High Accuracy: Measures indentation depth (60~120 μm) and load (up to 1000 N) with a 100 Hz acquisition rate for precise material characterization.
Automated Reporting: Compares safety factors with design codes and generates assessment reports automatically.
Multiple Power Options: Supports 220V and 24V, making it adaptable to different field conditions.
Material Versatility: Works with cemented carbide, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy.

FAQ

How does the PMT-1000 detect metallurgical degradation?

It measures hardness and other mechanical properties that are sensitive to microstructural changes like graphitization and spheroidization, which cause hardness drops.

Is it suitable for high-temperature equipment?

While the tester itself is portable, it can be used on equipment that has cooled down or with appropriate fixtures for hot surfaces, depending on site conditions.

Can it be used on pipelines?

Yes, it is applicable to pressure pipelines for detecting degradation and assessing remaining life.

Does it require calibration?

Regular calibration is recommended to maintain accuracy; we provide calibration services.

What are the power options?

It operates on 220V or 24V, suitable for most industrial sites.

Can it generate reports automatically?

Yes, it automatically compares safety factors with design codes and generates assessment reports.
