Setting the standard for accuracy
MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) is a common assessment method for material verification systems in the pipeline industry, where a lower value indicates better performance.
The PLX-Portable consistently achieves the lowest MAPE value in the industry, most recently of 3.6% for yield and tensile strength, as well as lowest maximum error, as cited in a key industry report.

A guided process, from start to finish
Let our Portable Testing Wizard (PTW) software take you through the testing process, with simple steps and checks to give you data you can count on.
Core components
Indenter Module
This module houses and controls the indenter head, recording both the applied load and measured displacement. It creates up to 5 evenly-spaced indents across a pipe’s surface, enabling users to gather comprehensive material data.
Optical Profilometer Module
Utilising red-light interferometry, this device captures the full 3D profile of residual indents, providing fast and accurate measurements.
Software
The bespoke PTW software connects directly to the testing equipment. This software guides users through test procedures, ensures data robustness, and stores all test results locally.
Gold standard service
Our commitment to quality goes beyond our products. With the PLX-Portable, you’ll have access to top-tier support from our dedicated team of technical support representatives available 24/7 to get you back up and running right away.
