GE Inspection Technologies is a leading innovator for inspection solutions that deliver accuracy, productivity and safety to customers in a wide range of industries,
including oil & gas, power generation, aerospace, transportation and government infrastructure.
Our advanced nondestructive testing and imaging technologies utilize the electromagnetic, radiographic, ultrasonic or visible energy spectrum to test and inspect a
wide range of components. We have enormous depth and breadth of know-how which can be applied to your needs.
Corrosion & Erosion
The negative eects of corrosion and erosion cost the oil & gas and power generation industries billions of dollars every year in unscheduled plant or pipeline
shutdowns, inecient or lost production, high maintenance repair costs or imposed nes. Experts believe that 20% to 25% of corrosion-related costs could be avoided.
Corrosion and erosion detection, sizing and monitoring technologies are important elements toward realizing those savings.
Multi-Modal Oering
GE Inspection Technologies oers the most comprehensive selection of testing and inspection capabilities and other products for industrial applications. Our strength
lies in the use of eld experience and customer feedback to build the most productive inspection products in the market. With the industry's broadest complement of
nondestructive test methods to ensure our customers can be condent they are getting the optimal solution to meet their needs.
Our NDT technologies help you collect important data and convert it into useful information. Coupled with historical plant data, intelligent software, image
enhancement, databasing, applicable codes and additional knowledge, asset owners can make better-informed decisions regarding treatment, mitigation, remaining
life, component replacement or plant operating parameters.
