HSD Plus Testing: Powering the Future of Pipeline Health
The extended version of our cutting-edge HSD Express, HSD Plus combines surface yield and tensile strength assessment with microscopy and chemical analysis to support a detailed exploration of structural behavior. Available in 10 business days, HSD Plus ensures pipelines meet the most rigorous regulatory requirements and instills unmatched operator confidence.
HSD Plus Testing captures critical structural characteristics and the nuances of material behavior under operational stress. By tapping into the continuously expanding MMT database, HSD Plus helps anticipate how grain size and chemical makeup impact long-term performance.
Where HSD Express is designed for immediate operational insights, HSD Plus delivers the insights required to inform long-term asset strategy, integrity, and compliance. The result? Operations you know meet (and exceed) the most stringent regulatory requirements.
By incorporating chemical and microstructural data, HSD Plus Testing builds on HSD Express’ already comprehensive testing parameters to produce holistic roadmaps of pipeline health—from a present and future perspective.
HSD Long Seam Weld Toughness Report: Streamlined Pipeline Integrity
Your pipeline is only as strong as its seams. Our HSD Long Seam Weld Toughness Report provides a precise, non-destructive evaluation of seam toughness, assessing all zones—base metal, heat-affected areas, and the weld—without disrupting your pipeline structure. Gain rapid, actionable data on weld toughness and integrity, delivered in 13 business days.
MMT’s HSD technology precisely evaluates the energy required for crack propagation at the long seam, gathering detailed data points throughout seam zones. This focused analysis enables accurate assessments of weld toughness and forecasts performance under operational stress.
Through our HSD technology, we capture extensive data from each weld zone without physical sampling. With hundreds of measurements per area, our reports deliver exceptional accuracy and insights—allowing efficient operations with minimal downtime.
Blade Toughness Meter Report: Next Generation Pipe Body Insights
Our soon-to-be-released Blade Toughness Meter (BTM) Report offers industry-first, in-ditch fracture toughness evaluation that rivals lab accuracy—no cutouts or shutdowns required. Leveraging MMT’s proprietary K-equivalent technology, the BTM Report provides operators with fast, reliable insights into material resilience.
Using a patented blade design containing a narrow opening, the BTM introduces a controlled microfracture, allowing precise observation and measurement of material toughness. Through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), we analyze each fracture’s ligament features at a microscopic level, verifying a ductile fracture surface and offering granular long-term durability insights.
Engineered for on-site use, BTM offers ±20% accuracy on fracture toughness without destructive testing, enabling trusted, lab-level data in the field. Our technology supports compliance and asset planning, boosting operator confidence and reducing costly disruptions.
Capturing direct K-value correlations and Charpy impact equivalency, the BTM Report delivers a complete fracture toughness profile of the pipe body. By measuring fracture initiation toughness and capturing subtle structural variations, BTM provides total material and toughness transparency.
Take the next step in asset reliability with MMT’s comprehensive testing. Dive deeper into structural integrity with insights that drive smarter, long-term decisions and regulatory alignment.
