2020 may have seen non-essential asset integrity inspections delayed and as a result you may have a backlog of such work.
Recent advances in ultrasonic testing (UT) sensors enable on-stream measurements of high temperature assets for wall thickness, erosion, and corrosion surveys.
Unplanned shutdowns, loss of containment and injury will all impact your ability to hit emissions, production and safety targets. When it comes to protecting high-temperature, critical assets, we can all work to reduce risks by implementing effective changes across our asset integrity programs and plant operations. In this blog we share 5 actions that can be taken to reduce risks and increase safety.
A large chemical refinery sought a solution for conducting multiple point and scan measurements for on-stream, in-service corrosion surveys across their facilities infrastructure. Read the full case study here.
Ionix Advanced Technologies, experts in high-temperature in-service ultrasonic asset-integrity tools, evaluate the benefits and challenges of detecting and monitoring sulfidic corrosion, a ubiquitous damage mechanism in refineries, and how new technologies have emerged to meet the updated standards and best practices.
Paul at Holloway NDT takes the HS582i to the BBQ to test the standard velocity compensation
Ionix HotSense™ has been successfully deployed with a CALIPERAY wireless system and a field communication kit to monitor erosion rates in a remote upstream Shell facility as an alternative to manual inspection with X-ray RT profiling.

Are you considering switching your dual inspection probes out for HS582i?
Here are some FAQs that were discussed before others made the move.
A collaborative project, between Ionix Advanced Technologies Ltd, TWI Ltd, Precision Acoustics Ltd (PAL) and University of Sheffield (UoS), towards developing and manufacturing radiation resilient ultrasonic sensors (reDRESS) has been completed with high praise from the project’s funding body, InnovateUK.
Low Capex access to monitoring: minimise operational risk and maximise productivity with enhanced asset intelligence
Complete fixed-point ultrasonic thickness measurement solution for use with standard UT gauges and flaw detectors. The lowest cost entry point for intrinsically safe, non-invasive corrosion and erosion in-service monitoring. Ideal for reducing Capex across applications in refining, oil & gas, energy, nuclear and process sectors.
