The PMT-1000 is a portable nondestructive indentation tester designed to rapidly identify material susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). It predicts SCC thresholds from indentation curve features, shortening screening cycles significantly. Ideal for oil & gas, chemical, and nuclear sectors where rapid SCC-resistant material screening is critical.
Product Summary
This portable tester performs multi-point rapid screening on a single specimen to locate the most sensitive zones, evaluates SCC sensitivity differences between weld HAZ and base metal, and detects the effect of cold work hardening on SCC susceptibility to optimize forming processes. It eliminates standard tensile specimen preparation, saving material and machining costs.
Key Features
Rapid Screening: Multi-point testing on one specimen to locate sensitive zones (source: image caption).
Non-destructive or Minor-damage: Suitable for thin sheets, small parts, or finished components (source: image caption).
Cost-saving: No standard tensile specimen preparation needed, reducing material and machining costs (source: image caption).
