CASE STUDY | In-service Automated UT Corrosion Mapping of Pipeline at Risk of Sulfidation
IRISNDT sought a solution for automated corrosion mapping of a high-temperature pipeline prone to sulfidation. Using ultrasonic testing (UT), they measured remaining wall thickness in refinery piping circuits, ensuring reliable scans with durable transducers to maximize productivity.
CASE STUDY | In-service High Temperature UT Inspection Survey by MISTRAS at a U.S. Oil Refinery
Mistras, a leader in inspection services, faced a challenge at a US West Coast refinery. They needed to perform Ultrasonic Testing (UT) on pipework and equipment operating at high temperatures (350 °F to 700 °F) using specialised transducers. The goal was to measure thickness at corrosion monitoring locations with minimal downtime, ensuring system integrity.
BLOG | Experience Precision at your Fingertips
In industries requiring accurate thickness gauging and corrosion detection, ensuring the safety and longevity of critical assets is paramount. HotSense™ HS782i by Ionix is engineered specifically for extreme environments, providing precise measurements of wall thickness from 1 to 25 mm at temperatures up to 200 °C. Its compact, fingertip-sized design allows for easy access to hard-to-reach areas, making on-stream inspections faster and more efficient. With cutting-edge technology and durable construction, HS782i stands out as the go-to solution for on-stream inspections aiming to maintain equipment integrity under challenging conditions.
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.
