Technology & Products
Key Products
PCRT testing services; PCRT testing equipment; Process Compensated Resonant Inspection (PCRI) equipment
Technological Advantage
PCRT detects anomalies beyond benchmark tolerances, identifying all potential failures including unknown defects, with applications ranging from quality assurance for OEMs to in-service structural assessment for MROs.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Economical replacement for destructive testing that enhances safety and operating economics by detecting process variation and structural defects undetectable by other methods, reducing field failures and improving process control.
How They Differentiate
PCRT offers comprehensive defect detection beyond standard NDT methods, identifying both known and unknown anomalies with automated resonance testing, unlike traditional methods like ultrasonic or eddy current testing that target specific defects.
