UTEX Scientific Instruments

What UTEX Scientific Instruments does

UTEX Scientific Instruments, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Mississauga, Canada, develops nondestructive testing (NDT) software and automated inspection systems for industrial customers. The company's core product is InspectionWare, an NDT software platform that serves as the integration framework for inspection technologies. UTEX Scientific sells to enterprise NDT service providers and industrial/marine operators that need quantitative corrosion assessment on piping, vessels, and other critical infrastructure.

The company's technical differentiation rests on phased array ultrasonic technology, encapsulated in the PA-CAT technology acquired in May 2026 from Holloway NDT & Engineering Inc. PA-CAT's patented technique combines industry-standard ultrasonic equipment with proprietary modeling algorithms and a cloud-based analysis service to deliver quantitative measurement of contact point corrosion. This acquisition transferred ownership of the algorithms, the global customer licensing base, and the future development roadmap to UTEX Scientific, which is integrating the capability into the InspectionWare platform.

UTEX Scientific's revenue model combines NDT software licensing (InspectionWare), technology licensing of the PA-CAT phased array ultrasonic technique to NDT service providers globally, and integration services tied to the acquisition. Distribution is primarily through direct enterprise field sales and global OEM/white-label technology licensing arrangements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company markets through industry events and targets both NDT service providers (primary segment) and industrial/marine operators (secondary segment) through a vertical segmentation approach.
