Tru-Fit®

To help resolve the issues around SBT leaks and production losses Paragon developed Tru-Fit®. Tru-Fit® is a portable, handheld, non-intrusive inspection system that identifies assembly issues and potential leaks before they happen. Tru-Fit® consists of a handheld inspection tool, a mobile app and an online inspection data page.

The Tru-Fit® SBT inspection system, was developed to allow fast simple accurate non-intrusive inspection of small-bore tubing connectors in seconds providing standardised, inspection and reporting whilst detecting and grading previously unknown SBT assembly issues.

Tru-Fit® – additional uses

In addition to the Tru-Fit tool grading the Tru-Fit mobile app also allows input of SBT visual inspection information, standardising and recording typical Energy Institute Guidelines SBT inspection data normally recorded.

The Tru-Fit® system may be used as.

  • A fast simple effective standalone SBT grading system using the Tru-Fit® tool
  • A standalone SBT visual inspection system recording and uploading visual inspection information using the Tru-Fit® mobile app.
  • A combination of both Tru-Fit® grading and SBT visual inspection for optimum results and a more accurate risk assessment profile using the Tru-Fit inspection tool and Tru-Fit mobile app combined.

The Tru-Fit® system provides the unique capability to inspect small-bore tubing systems and locate potential issues without the need for shutdown or disassembly.
