Accurate Ferrite Content Measurement for Weld Quality and Corrosion Resistance

Qualitest Offshore Inc. offers expert Ferrite Testing services throughout Guyana’s FPSOs, offshore platforms, onshore fabrication shops, and process plants. Ferrite testing is a critical Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method used to measure the ferrite content in austenitic and duplex stainless steel welds.

Our experienced technicians use state-of-the-art ferrite scopes to ensure that your welded components meet corrosion resistance and mechanical property standards. This service is essential for maintaining structural integrity in high-temperature and corrosive environments.

What is Ferrite Testing?

Ferrite Testing determines the percentage of ferrite phase present in stainless steel. The correct ferrite balance helps prevent problems like solidification cracking, embrittlement, and reduced corrosion resistance in welds and base materials.

Using a portable, non-destructive ferrite meter, we perform precise field measurements in real time—delivering reliable data with no interruption to operations.

Key Benefits of Ferrite Testing

• Ensures weld quality and mechanical reliability
• Improves resistance to corrosion and cracking
• Quick and accurate on-site measurements
• Non-destructive and portable
• Essential for duplex and austenitic stainless steels
• Supports compliance with industry codes and client specs

Ferrite Testing Applications in Guyana’s Industrial Sector

Ferrite content is a key parameter in high-performance stainless steel components found in:

• FPSO topside piping and process equipment
• Offshore platform pressure systems
• Welds in fabrication yards and onshore facilities
• Heat exchangers, boilers, and chillers
• Chemical plants, refineries, and food-grade systems

This test is especially critical during welding procedure qualification, fabrication, repair work, and post-weld inspections.
