Industry-leading accuracy
The PLX-Portable has set a new industry standard, with record MAPE values for yield and tensile strength.
Final results delivered in-ditch
Results are generated straight from the dig site, with report-ready data available immediately and accessible from anywhere via cloud-based platform.
Streamlined testing
With simplified surface preparation and quick testing, a fully Mega Rule-compliant material verification dig can be completed in just 90 minutes, while complimentary 2-day Certified User training gets your team up and running fast.
Industry-leading accuracy
According to independent reports, the PLX-Portable has set a new industry standard for accuracy, with record MAPE values for yield and tensile strength (proven by industry round-robin data).
Reliable data
Simple, guided operation, automated testing and 100+ system safeguards keeps you free from risk of technician error and data uncertainties.
FREE instant reporting
Get final results right at the dig site - no delays, no further steps, no extra cost. Reports are instantly generated and accessible anywhere via the cloud.
Accuracy that stands up to scrutiny
Some common tools operate with a 35% margin of error - a risk that could lead pipes to operate with pressures that are out by 3 pipe grades.
MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) is the pipeline industry’s benchmark for assessing material verification accuracy - and lower is better.
The PLX-Portable consistently delivers the lowest MAPE in the industry - just 3.6% for both yield and tensile strength - with the lowest maximum error on record, as cited in a key industry report.

“Thank you for putting together a great training session with Max and Marcus in Houston this week. Unsurprisingly, the session was tidier and more compact by comparison to your competition which aligns with the differentiation in the three technologies. Our team left with a good handle on the tech and excited to get going in the field. I particularly appreciated that it was light on slides and heavy on practical with every tech practicing every step multiple times.”

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.
Everything included.
No extra costs.
We believe in fair and transparent pricing. With the PLX-Portable, you’ll have complimentary access to everything you need, from certified user training, to top-tier support from our dedicated team of technical support representatives.
