DLI1000

Next-generation nondestructive evaluation for composite and FRP structures.

The DLI1000 is a SansEC-based diagnostic instrument engineered to identify damage, defects, and structural changes in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and composite materials. Designed for field and laboratory use, the DLI1000 delivers clear, quantitative insights into structural health, empowering operators to detect problems early, validate repairs, and make confident maintenance decisions.

Built on Permittivity’s advanced electromagnetic sensing technology, the DLI1000 provides exceptional sensitivity to internal changes in dielectric properties, enabling it to reveal damaged regions long before they are visible or detectable with traditional inspection tools.

Applications

  • Infrastructure inspection (FRP decking, bridge components, pipelines)

  • Aerospace composites testing

  • Marine and offshore structures

  • Industrial tanks and vessels

  • Research laboratories and materials development

  • Validation of repairs and lifecycle monitoring

Key Features

  • True Non-Destructive Evaluation
     Detect damage and degradation without harming the material or interrupting operations.

  • High-Resolution Damage Mapping
     Quantify the location and extent of structural changes with precision.

  • Powered by NASA’s SansEC Technology
     Uses open-circuit resonant sensors to capture subtle electromagnetic signatures related to material condition.

  • Fast, Repeatable Measurements
     Ideal for routine inspections, monitoring programs, and repair validation.

  • Portable and Operator-Friendly
     Lightweight, field-ready design with intuitive software to guide data collection and interpretation.

Versatile Material Compatibility
Optimized for FRP composites, but effective across a wide range of dielectric materials.

Why the DLI1000?

Traditional NDT tools struggle to see inside composite materials or quantify internal damage without destructive testing. The DLI1000 changes that. By measuring electromagnetic resonance shifts caused by micro-level structural changes, it provides actionable, physics-based data that helps organizations reduce maintenance costs, improve safety, and extend asset life.
