SDT International proudly announces that Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance awarded their manufacturing facility ISO 9001 : 2008 Quality Management System Standards. “This long awaited award reinforces our reputation amongst our peers and our customers that SDT’s commitment to manufacture high quality measurement instruments and software is stronger than ever”, stated Andre Degraeve, Managing Director of SDT International.

The SDT270 now meets the requirements set by ATEX Directive 94/9/EC (II 1 G Ex ia IIC T3/T2 Ga) for use in the most dangerous and potentially explosive atmospheres in the world. For the first time ever ultrasound inspectors working in intrinsically safe rated zones now have access to the unique and advanced features of the SDT270.

Launched in 2010, the SDT270 has held up its promise to evolve ultrasound inspection as a leading technology for Predictive Maintenance. SDT introduced the first multi platform upgradeable ultrasound device that measured both static (dBµV) and dynamic (time/spectra) ultrasound data. Onboard temperature and RPM measurements make the SDT270 the most complete ultrasound tool for Condition Based Monitoring programs.

SDT is proud of the worldwide acceptance of its integrated solutions as they compete for projects globally. It offers new possibilities for petro chemical plants, offshore drilling rigs, and refineries, not to mention the many other areas where ultrasound could not be used.

While it took more than a full year to complete the certification, the official rating for the SDT270 and accessories (headphones, RS1 contact probes and flexible sensor) is one of the highest attainable.
