Ultrasonic Testing
Ultrasonic thickness and corrosion assessment on piping.
Overview
Phased-array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) corrosion analysis provides a cost-effective and accurate alternative to traditional radiographic “shadow shots” followed by discrete thickness readings. Full 360° coverage is achievable on pipe greater than 2" NPS up to flat surfaces. Results are accurate, repeatable, and fully documented.
Advantages
- Complete circumferential coverage on suitable geometries
- Precise sizing of depth and extent of corrosion
- Manual or semi-automated scanning depending on material and geometry
- Digital records that support trending and remaining-life decisions
Requirements
Surfaces must be free of rust, scale, debris, and thick coatings. Our team will advise on surface preparation and the most suitable scanning approach for your components.
