Brinell Hardness Testing on Duplex Stainless Steel Welds for Offshore Guyana – Qualitest Offshore Inc

High-Precision BHN Testing for Duplex Stainless Steel Welds in Offshore Operations

Qualitest Offshore Inc provides certified Brinell Hardness Testing (BHN) for duplex stainless steel welds used in offshore facilities across Guyana. We specialize in delivering accurate, non-destructive hardness testing to support structural reliability and regulatory compliance in harsh marine environments.

Our team uses state-of-the-art digital BHN machines to test duplex welds on offshore structures with precision and speed.

What Is Brinell Hardness Testing?

Brinell Hardness Testing is a widely trusted, non-destructive method that measures a metal’s hardness using a steel or tungsten carbide ball and a known force. The size of the indentation indicates the resistance of the duplex stainless steel to deformation.

This method is used to:

  • Verify weld quality in duplex stainless components
  • Assess heat-affected zones (HAZ) post-welding
  • Confirm post-weld heat treatment results
  • Support material property documentation for QA/QC

With cloud-connected equipment, we ensure digital reporting, traceability, and fast turnaround times for every job.

Why BHN Testing Matters for Duplex Stainless Welds

Duplex stainless steel is widely used offshore for its corrosion resistance and strength. However, improper heat input during welding can lead to embrittlement or loss of toughness. Our Brinell Hardness Testing ensures your welds meet offshore safety and quality standards.

✅ Detect over-hardening or reduced ductility
✅ Ensure compliance with ASME, ASTM, and ISO guidelines
✅ Support failure prevention in high-pressure environments
✅ Provide QA/QC evidence for certification
✅ Ensure weld integrity under dynamic offshore conditions

We test according to ASTM E10, ISO 6506, and ASME Section VIII.

Components We Test on Offshore Structures

Our BHN testing services cover duplex stainless steel welds on:

  • Offshore piping systems and manifolds
  • Subsea equipment and riser supports
  • Process modules, separators, and tanks
  • Pipe spools, nozzles, elbows, and flanges
  • Weld overlays and clad materials

Every indentation is digitally recorded and analyzed to avoid human error and ensure repeatability.
