Enhancing high-temperature PAUT and TOFD inspection for weld root erosion
CASE STUDY | In-service stack inspection by UAV
Significant corrosion can occur in stacks and flares due to the presence of acidic compounds in the gases, in the presence of moisture and at elevated temperatures.
A refinery operator sought to inspect their stacks, onstream at high-temperatures using aerial drone platform with a HotSense UT payload to determine fitness for service.
Read our latest case study that highlights why on-stream inspection requires robust transducers with high sensitivity and temperature resilience , and which can reliably make high-temperature wall thickness measurements to prevent the need for shutdown and maintain productivity while reducing costs.
Application Note – High-Temperature Weld Root Corrosion Inspection
Ionix high-temperature TOFD transducers, with integrated wedges, are suitable for weld inspections at continuous elevated temperatures up to 350 °C. Here, the transducers with integrated wedges are mounted on to a modified EddyFi Lyncs scanner for high-temperature encoding, with high-temperature couplant, connected to
commercially available Mantis UT set, and a carbon steel pipe weld inspected at 200 °C for weld root corrosion.
Application Note – High-Temperature TOFD Inspection of Carbon Steel Weld
Ultrasonic time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) is a popular method widely used in petrochemical, energy and other industries for the in-service detection and characterisation of welds defects such as root corrosion, porosity, inclusions, and cracks. This latest application note explores Time-of-flight diffraction on carbon steel welded plate up to 240 °C.
APPLICATION NOTE | How Does Temperature affect my Angled Wedge Inspection?
HotSense TOFD enables on-stream high temperature measurements of critical assets. Learn how temperature affects your wedge angles to better plan you next inspections.
APPLICATION NOTE | Selecting the Right HotSense™ UT Probe
The new HotSense™ range of ultrasonic dual element transducers now offer our customers the ability to access a whole new assortment of inspections.
APPLICATION NOTE | On-Stream UT Corrosion Mapping
Here we demonstrate the HS582i dual element transducers suitability for corrosion mapping at temperatures up to 350 °C without the need for duty cycling, or cooling, additional training or equipment to significantly reduce the cost to alternatives.
