DIAGNOSTIC testing
Shark teeth provide a wealth of data and information about both modern and ancient sharks, as well as the environments they inhabit. Scientists can analyze the physical characteristics of shark teeth to determine species, feeding behaviors, and age. Beyond that, chemical analysis (e.g., isotopic and oxygen composition) can help reconstruct past ocean temperatures, migration patterns, chemistry, and environmental changes over time.
The process of extracting vital information from a shark’s tooth is similar to obtaining data from a transformer’s insulating liquid. Diagnostic testing results are an excellent indicator of a transformer's condition. We treat each of our thousands of liquid samples as a snapshot loaded with valuable information.
No single test is sufficient to define all known conditions, which is why we offer a broad range of test packages. Running comprehensive testing with multiple test methods provides the most effective way to detect, diagnose, and take action to prevent further issues with electric power equipment.
Over the past 60 years, we have generated millions of test results from thousands of high-voltage units for power system owners across the country and in 20+ countries around the globe.
