RAE Energy is the parent technology company of Prime Inspections and UT Quality. We distribute the EdgeFlex radiographic (X-ray) system, and the Matrix UT (an Argus NDT phased-array product) and UT Scan (UT Quality's proprietary AUT system) automated ultrasonic systems, plus the automated scanning that carries them — equipping our own inspection companies and the wider NDT industry. RAE is not a service arm: it does not perform field inspections and never competes with its inspection companies.
The systems RAE Energy supplies are deployed by NDT inspection crews across North America — including those of the RAE Energy companies, Prime Inspections and UT Quality.
Radiography
Band-mounted digital radiography (X-ray / DR) system for pipeline girth-weld inspection.

Ultrasonics
Automated ultrasonic (AUT) and phased-array (PAUT) systems — encoded, repeatable girth-weld inspection equipment.

Automation
The automated scanners and guide bands used with the EdgeFlex, Matrix UT and UT Scan systems, carrying inspection sensors precisely and repeatably.

Data
Digital radiographs and encoded ultrasonic scans — the clean, structured weld records that AI-assisted review depends on.

RAE Energy sold its coatings business to CRTS Global to commit fully to nondestructive testing technology: radiographic and ultrasonic inspection systems and the automation that carries them.
Four forces are reshaping inspection — and NDT companies need equipment built for them. RAE Energy supplies it.
Film gives way to digital records and encoded, data-rich ultrasonic scans — new tools, not old habits.
Tighter acceptance and traceability demand equipment that captures repeatable, auditable data.
Automated scanners and guide bands make the shot faster, safer and more consistent for crews.
Machine learning can help reviewers sort and compare inspection data — if the data is clean and traceable.
RAE Energy distributes equipment for the two core weld-inspection methods: EdgeFlex, the band-mounted digital radiography (DR) system, and the automated ultrasonic (AUT) systems — Matrix UT, an Argus NDT product, and UT Scan, UT Quality's proprietary system. RAE supplies the equipment; it does not manufacture Matrix UT or UT Scan, and it does not perform inspections. The result: encoded, repeatable girth-weld records NDT crews can audit weld-by-weld.
Band-mounted digital radiography (RT / DR) inspection of pipeline girth welds.
Encoded phased-array (PAUT) and TOFD automated ultrasonic weld inspection.
Digital radiographs and encoded ultrasonic scans: a permanent, auditable record of each weld.
RAE Energy is the parent company of Prime Inspections and UT Quality. RAE distributes the equipment; its inspection companies, and other NDT companies, deploy it in the field. RAE Energy itself does not perform field inspections.
