SONOTEC GmbH attended the 21st Pipeline Technology Conference (PTC) at the Estrel Congress Center in Berlin, held from April 27 to 30, 2026. The event convened 1,132 participants from 61 countries, fostering a global dialogue on pipeline and testing technologies. SONOTEC showcased its ultrasonic solutions for industrial applications and took the opportunity to engage in technical discussions with international NDT experts at the conference.
The practical application of ultrasonic solutions
SONOTEC presented a range of practical applications of ultrasonic measurement technology at its exhibition stand. These included a demonstration model for pipeline inspections and live demonstrations of SONASCREEN for leak detection visualization. Current requirements for inspection technologies and condition monitoring were discussed in direct dialogue with users.
Key topics and insights for testing technology
The conference program covered key topics, including pipeline integrity, inspection technologies, digitalization, and new requirements arising from hydrogen and CO2 infrastructures. The presentations emphasized the growing importance of precise, non-destructive testing methods for ensuring safe and efficient plant operation.
For SONOTEC, ptc 2026 is a confirmation of the increasing relevance of ultrasound-based solutions for industrial quality assurance and maintenance. The international exchange plays a key role in driving the continued advancement of application-oriented measurement and testing technologies.
The next opportunity for professional dialogue will be the Pipeline Technology Conference Asia (ptc Asia) in November 2026 in Kuala Lumpur.
