Creaform and Sonatest in
global distribution par tnership
SONATEST, a manufacturer of
ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT)
solutions, is now an official reseller of
Creaform’s Pipecheck Analyze pipeline
integrity assessment software.
Fully compatible with Sonatest’s ultra-
sonic testing instruments, Pipecheck
enables the identification of potential
issues on both the inner and outer
surfaces of pipes, whether those issues
are corrosion, dents or gouges.
Combined with the strengths of the
NDT equipment, Pipecheck’s single
software solution gives accurate and
realistic damage evaluation of a pipeline.
Sonatest’s entire sales network
is now able to distribute Pipecheck
to the company’s pipeline corrosion
assessment market.
With Pipecheck, Sonatest will
continue its expansion into other
sectors, including nuclear plants and
geothermal facilities, where corrosion
and erosion caused by water vapour
travelling at high speeds have become
a major problem.
“We were very impressed by
Pipecheck’s performance and accuracy,
as well as its amazing simplicity and
ease of use,” explained Sonatest
product manager Jonathan Turcotte.
“Thanks to a basic three-step workflow
– scan, analyse, report – our clients’
field technicians can quickly gain access
to the vital information they need to
make critical decisions and ensure both
compliance and community safety.”
Jérôme-Alexandre Lavoie, product
manager at Creaform, added,
“Pipecheck is an excellent complement
to Sonatest’s current ultrasonic data
acquisition solutions, helping clients to
increase their assessment efficiency in
the field.
“With Sonatest’s powerful flaw detec-
tors and Creaform’s comprehensive and
intuitive Pipecheck software, operators
and inspectors need look no further than
this joint solution for all their pipeline
assessment needs.”
