Ferrite Testing
Our ferrite testing service provides accurate, reliable measurement of ferrite content in welded and piping components using the latest portable Fischer Feritscope MP30E-S technology. With handheld, battery-operated equipment, we can carry out testing efficiently both in-house and on-site, helping clients meet stringent quality and compliance requirements.
We regularly support customers with the inspection of large volumes of subsea wellhead Duplex and Super Duplex welded piping spools, along with associated components used in demanding offshore environments. These critical applications require precise ferrite control to ensure long-term material performance and integrity.
Heat treatment processes can significantly affect ferrite levels. A reduction below specified limits may indicate incorrect heat treatment or the formation of detrimental secondary phases within the material. Both conditions can negatively impact the corrosion resistance and service life of Duplex and Super Duplex stainless steels.
Our experienced technicians utilise proven testing procedures to ensure all ferrite measurements are accurate, repeatable, and fully representative of the material being examined. This provides our clients with confidence that their components meet required specifications and industry standards.
In addition to Duplex and Super Duplex materials, we can also assess deposited ferrite content in selected austenitic weld metals, providing a comprehensive ferrite testing solution across a wide range of applications.
