Internal Laser Optical Tube Inspection System® (LOTIS®)

LOTIS® (internal) utilizes laser profilometry to inspect the internal surface of tubes in many critical applications.  Coupling this technology with patent pending reporting software, Quest Reliability’s sister company, Quest TruTec, provides immediate and accurate data to enable instant risk-based decisions.  LOTIS® has become internationally recognized by the NDT industry and the American Society of Non-destructive Testing (ASNT) as a time-proven NDT method.
