High-Precision Brinell Hardness Testing for FPSO Welds in Guyana
Qualitest Offshore Inc delivers certified Brinell Hardness Testing (BHN) specifically tailored for FPSO welded components in Guyana. Our team ensures accurate, non-destructive evaluations for critical offshore assets using the latest digital BHN technology.
We help oil and gas operators maintain structural safety, comply with international codes, and validate weld integrity—onboard or during fabrication.
What Is Brinell Hardness Testing?
Brinell Hardness Testing is a non-destructive method that measures material resistance using a controlled force and a steel or tungsten carbide ball. The diameter of the resulting indentation reveals the hardness level of the welded metal.
Common applications include:
- Weld hardness verification on offshore modules
- Heat-affected zone assessment in FPSO fabrication
- Quality checks after post-weld heat treatment
- Material comparison and certification support
Our advanced BHN machines are cloud-connected, delivering real-time data and instant digital reports for traceability and decision-making.
Why BHN Testing Is Critical for FPSO Welds
FPSO units operate under extreme stress and harsh environments. That’s why precision in weld testing is non-negotiable. Our Brinell Hardness Testing services help you:
✅ Identify brittle zones in heat-affected areas
✅ Validate hardness in accordance with ASME and ISO standards
✅ Prevent failure due to over-hardening or improper heat treatment
✅ Meet QA/QC compliance for fabrication and maintenance
✅ Provide test data for certification bodies
We strictly adhere to ASTM E10, ISO 6506, and ASME Section VIII standards.
Components We Test on FPSOs
We provide on-site and workshop-based testing for a wide range of FPSO components, including:
- Structural welds in hulls and topsides
- Pipe sections, nozzles, and flanges
- Pressure vessels and process modules
- Skids, support frames, and brackets
- Weld overlays and cladding zones
Each indentation is measured with digital accuracy, eliminating manual errors and ensuring reliable hardness data.
