UTPP
The UTPP is a portable ultrasonic inspection device for non-destructive testing of butt-fusion and electrofusion joints in polyethylene piping systems. It is designed for inspection of PE80, PE100 and PE2708 pipes used in water and gas distribution networks.
Using dedicated ultrasonic transducers and built-in automatic defect classification, the UTPP helps detect and evaluate joint imperfections quickly and consistently, while predefined inspection plans and reporting tools simplify field quality control.
Description
The UTPP by Tessonics is a portable ultrasonic inspection system for non-destructive testing of butt-fusion and electrofusion joints in polyethylene (PE/HDPE) pipes used in water, gas and industrial piping systems.
Designed for PE80, PE100 and PE2708 pipes, the UTPP uses dedicated ultrasonic transducers for assessment of joint condition and detection of defects without cutting or damaging the pipe. AI-based algorithms support automatic analysis and defect classification, while predefined inspection plans help the operator perform inspections consistently, reduce the risk of evaluation errors and simplify field quality control.
The system provides documented inspection results and is suitable for both production and on-site testing of polyethylene pipe joints.

UTPP is a non-destructive ultrasonic system for inspecting welds in polyethylene (PE/HDPE) pipes used in gas, water and industrial pipelines. It evaluates butt-fusion and electrofusion joints, where joint integrity is critical and destructive sampling is wasteful and slow.
Ultrasonic inspection detects lack of fusion, cold-fusion joints, voids, inclusions, contamination and misalignment, providing documented evidence of weld quality without cutting the pipe. Replacing destructive testing with UTPP lowers scrap, speeds up qualification and supports higher inspection coverage on the production line and in the field.
FAQ
Which joints can be tested?
Butt-fusion and electrofusion joints in PE/HDPE pipes.
What defects can UTPP find?
Lack of fusion, cold fusion, voids, inclusions, contamination and misalignment.
Why use ultrasonic instead of destructive testing?
It keeps the joint intact, gives documented results, and allows far more joints to be inspected at lower cost.
