In Situ Kit Metallography Kit

On site non destructive inspection kit of mettalography, used where the conventional techniques of specimen preparation can not be applied. The kit of practicing mettalographers for any critical site applications considering the user friendliness, weight, result and it’s repeatability. Excellent result can be achieved by methodical practice and employing good consumables with little practice.

Application areas

Insitu technology has various applications like for the study of micro structure of localized corrosion, high temperature oxidation & hot corrosion, large/ bulky jobs on their critical areas, weldment, cracks on the structures, pipes, pressure vessels, dies, pressure parts, and so many for the purpose for their residual life / structural integrity assessments / failure investigations. It also has applications like in life in life extension strategies, original design modification, maintenance, accelerated carrion study and safety.
