MAGNETIC FLUX LEAKAGE

Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) is a fast inspection technique, suitable for measuring wall loss and detecting sharp defects such as pitting, grooving, and circumferential cracks. MFL is effective for aluminum-finned carbon steel tubes because the magnetic field is almost completely unaffected by the presence of such fins.

CRAWLER UT GAUGING

Battery operated, encoded crawler with 5 MHz, dry coupled wheel probe. Supplied with a 50 metre umbilical cable for access to the top of the highest storage tanks methods. The Scorpion is a rugged remote access ultrasonic (UT) crawler designed for cost effective ultrasonic inspection on ferro-magnetic structures such as storage tanks, vessels and offshore installations without the need for costly scaffolding or rope access associated with UT thickness gauging.

High resolution B-scan image
Simple profile, or full amplitude display
Permanently stored data for recall to assist with RLA & RBI trend forecasting
No couplant or paint removal required

APPLICATIONS

Tank Thickness Gauging without Rope Access / Scaffolding
Pressure vessels and offshore installations Thickness Gauging

PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS

PCN, PED, ISO 9712, EN 473, ASNT Level 2/3

ACOUSTIC EMISSION

Acoustic Emission Testing (AET) is a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method that is used to analyse emitted sound waves caused by defects or discontinuities. These acoustic waves are induced by small deformations, corrosion or cracking, which occur prior to structure failure. It is therefore possible, with AET, to locate structural defects and to monitor the propagation and development of discontinuities.

APPLICATIONS

Storage tank Bottom floor inspection / Full Integrity Testing
No need to evacuate the load from the storage tank
Pressure vessels, Gas Bottles Integrity Testing without evacuating load

TRACK RECORD:

Storage Tank Floor Bottom Inspection
FRP vessels

PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS

ASNT Level II/III
