Exova provides welder performance qualification services for various applications, most specifically pipelines used in the transportation of petroleum based products.

 

With new and improved materials being introduced at an accelerating pace, the need for quality and economic coatings is of paramount importance. Our tests provide an accurate insight into the protection properties of coatings in relation to corrosion, ultraviolet light, water penetration, heat, abrasion and chemicals. With our expertise we can support Oil and Gas organisations with production and maintenance plans to minimise downtime and maximise the life of the constructions in use.
