MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Feb. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the guided wave testing market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Plant Integrity Ltd. with the 2014 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Leadership. Teletest FOCUS+ is made of state-of-the-art materials, such as carbon fiber composites, which have significantly reduced the product's weight and increased its ability to withstand hoop stress.

"Teletest FOCUS+'s 24 transmit and 24 receive channels is a best-in-class feature that enables multimode operation, providing greater power than any other product in the market," said Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Nikhil Jain. "Its distinct multimode functionality allows Teletest FOCUS+ to address not only the typical end-user application of pipeline inspection, but also niche applications such as tank floor inspection."

Teletest FOCUS+'s outstanding product design is exemplified by its transducers, which uniquely retract into the module so that it is not damaged in the process of coupling the collar with the pipeline. As the module itself is injection-molded, it saves production costs. Finally, the entire unit is mounted on an aluminum heat sink, which enables Teletest FOCUS+ to operate at the highest voltage in the market.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents its Product Leadership Award to the company that has distinguished itself through proactive strategies that position it as an industry leader.

Frost & Sullivan's Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for outstanding achievement in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research.
