OIL & GAS INDUSTRY TESTING

In the Oil & Gas industry, safety and reliability are of critical importance. With the costs of catastrophic failures rising every day, it is imperative to have clear, concise testing results to ensure your facility can run safely and reliably.  IMR Test Labs has the expert staff and knowledge to provide testing for both metals and polymers. We have extensive experience working with the high-performance materials used in oil & gas production. We offer a variety of chemical analysis, metallurgical testing, mechanical testing and corrosion testing services. Also, in the event of failure, we offer root cause determination and solutions to prevent recurrence. Our corrosion testing staff can identify corrodents and other variables that are entirely responsible for corrosion attack. We have a history of addressing complicated corrosion issues, including stress corrosion cracking, environmental stress cracking and many other mechanisms. We also offer a wide range of weld testing services, including welder qualification and weld examinations with AWS CWI’s at all US locations.
