Mobile NDT Inspection for Texas Oilfield Equipment
Moving large or specialized oilfield equipment to an inspection facility can create additional transportation and scheduling requirements.
Rock Hill Industrial offers mobile inspection units for onsite service. This can allow qualified inspection work to be performed where the equipment is located when the equipment and project requirements are suitable for onsite inspection.
Mobile NDT inspection can support:
- Oilfield equipment yards
- Service company facilities
- Equipment maintenance locations
- Production operations
- Field equipment locations
- Equipment recertification programs
- Planned maintenance activities
The appropriate onsite inspection scope depends on the equipment and project conditions. Rock Hill Industrial can review the requirements before mobilizing an inspection team.
Wireline Equipment Inspection & Testing
Wireline operations rely on specialized equipment that must be properly maintained and inspected according to its intended application.
Rock Hill Industrial provides inspection and testing for wireline equipment including:
- Wire Line Valves (WLV)
- Tool Traps
- Pump In Subs
- Lube Risers
Inspection requirements can vary depending on the equipment and project. Maintaining inspection records also helps companies track equipment history and plan future inspection requirements.
For companies managing multiple wireline assets, Rock Hill Industrial’s asset tracking and management capabilities can help organize inspection information across an equipment fleet.
Pump Down Equipment Inspection & Testing
Pump down operations use specialized equipment that must be maintained for demanding oilfield applications.
Rock Hill Industrial provides inspection and testing for pump down equipment including:
- Fluid Ends
- Flow Iron
- Swivels
- Check Valves
- Low Torque Valves
- Pressure Relief Valves
The inspection scope is based on the equipment and requirements of the project.
For Texas oilfield service companies, coordinating inspection with equipment maintenance can help keep inspection records current and support planned equipment use.
Coil Tubing Equipment Inspection
Coil tubing operations depend on specialized equipment that requires appropriate inspection and maintenance.
Rock Hill Industrial provides inspection services for coil tubing equipment including:
- Flow Iron
- Swivels
- Blowout Preventers
The inspection requirements can vary based on equipment type, condition, and intended application.
Companies operating coil tubing equipment in Texas can discuss their equipment inventory and inspection requirements with Rock Hill Industrial to establish an appropriate inspection scope.
Flowback Equipment Inspection & Testing
Flowback operations may involve several pieces of equipment working together. Maintaining inspection records for each component is an important part of equipment management.
Rock Hill Industrial provides inspection and testing for flowback equipment including:
- Sand Separators
- Choke Manifolds
- Plug Catchers
- Valves
- Pressure Relief Valves
- ESDs
- Flowback Tanks
- Line Heaters
- Test Units

Rock Hill Industrial’s NDT services include inspection of both spherical and cyclonic sand separators.
Because flowback equipment configurations vary, inspection requirements should be established around the actual equipment and project rather than using the same inspection scope for every unit.
Reverse Units & Nitrogen Equipment Inspection
Rock Hill Industrial also provides flow iron inspection and testing for reverse units and nitrogen applications.
These services can support oilfield service companies that manage equipment used in specialized field operations.
The inspection scope should be determined according to the equipment configuration, intended use, and applicable project requirements.
Equipment Recertification & Asset Management
Inspection can be part of a broader equipment management program rather than a one-time activity.
Rock Hill Industrial provides NDT inspection and testing that can support equipment recertification and preventative maintenance programs.
A structured inspection program can help companies:
- Maintain equipment inspection records
- Track inspection history
- Identify equipment requiring additional attention
- Plan future inspections
- Organize equipment information
- Support maintenance planning
- Manage equipment across multiple locations
Rock Hill Industrial also provides asset tracking and management to help customers maximize equipment uptime and extend equipment life.
Hydrostatic & Pressure Testing Equipment
NDT inspection and hydrostatic testing are related to equipment integrity, but they are different activities and should not be treated as the same inspection method.
Rock Hill Industrial also offers the HS-30K-TB-10 Hydrostatic Test Pump System for high-pressure hydrostatic testing applications.
The system supports automated pressure testing, test templates, sequential tests, PASS/FAIL analysis, digital test charts and certificates, remote operation and support, and other testing functions.
This hydrostatic testing equipment can be relevant when a project requires pressure testing in addition to an NDT inspection program.
The hydrostatic testing requirements should be evaluated separately from the NDT scope so the project has a clear inspection and testing plan.
NDT Support for Texas Oil & Gas Operations
Texas has major oilfield, energy, processing, and industrial markets with different equipment and maintenance requirements.
Rock Hill Industrial supports Texas oil and gas operations with NDT inspection and testing for specialized equipment.
