From Houston, Texas during the ASNT 2023 annual conference, Richard Blaser from Inspenet had the pleasure of interviewing Greg Patterson, sales manager for Structural Diagnostics Inc (SDI). With a history dating back to the early 1990s, SDI has made a name for itself for advanced equipment ranging from “small benchtops, UT dip systems to large crane systems.“
A Legacy of Innovation from Southern California
Although Structural Diagnostics Inc is based in Southern California, its reach transcends borders. Greg emphasizes the magnitude of its influence, “We have customers all over the country, even internationally.” SDI’s global expansion is no surprise given its commitment to quality and full service.
Commitment to Full Service
Structural Diagnostics Inc’s process doesn’t end with the sale; as Greg emphasizes, the company takes care to “manufacture the equipment in our facility and then ship it out,” ensuring that the customer receives not only the equipment but proper installation and a lifetime of service. This is a testament to their philosophy of maintaining an ongoing relationship with the customer.
An Innovative Solution for Pipe Inspection
Greg shares a recent case that illustrates the innovative capability of Structural Diagnostics Inc: a customer needed to inspect pipes up to 14 feet long. In a demonstration of adaptability and efficiency, SDI designed a system with “a second test head that would cut the cycle time in half,” allowing it to complete inspections of five pieces per hour, a remarkable achievement in the industry.
Integration of Inspection Technologies
What sets SDI apart is their focus on integrating multiple inspection technologies. As Greg points out, they not only perform ultrasonic testing but have also incorporated “Eddy Current Probes into each test head,” allowing both tests to be performed simultaneously, raising the standard in the inspection process.
The Investment in Quality
With a price tag of approximately “$500,000”, Structural Diagnostics Inc. systems represent a significant investment for its customers, highlighting the quality and reliability that the company guarantees with its inspection solutions.
