OES SPARK TESTING

Discover the Power of OES Spark Testing

OES Spark Testing
OES Spark Testing

Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) is a material analysis method that uses a tungsten rod to generate an arc that breaks down the parent material. The vapors are analyzed in an argon environment to determine the element makeups of the material.

OES Spark Testing

In the case of pipeline integrity inspections, Spark Testing is used to determine carbon content of existing pipeline materials. This determines the weldability of the new pipe replacement material to the existing materials and guides the selection of optimal welding techniques and procedures.

How can Tilt help with your OES needs?

Tilt’s technicians are trained in operating the OES spark test system. This means that one crew can arrive and do the lamination scan, long seam scan, MPI and spark test for any maintenance welding needs.
