ACFM® is an electromagnetic inspection technique that introduces an alternating current into the surface of the component to detect surface-breaking cracks. The presence of a crack disturbs the electromagnetic field and the return signal is instantaneously converted by advanced mathematical techniques so that the operator is alerted to the presence of a defect. Immediate defect sizing and recording is a major benefit compared to alternative NDT methods.
APPLICATIONS
Laser scanning using LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), is a new inspection technology that provides faster, safer, and better coverage of any structure. The 3D laser scanner is used to capture millions of individual points on buildings, storage tank shells, bottoms, and roofs, and the data can be used for fitness-for-service assessments (FFS).
API 653 standards require measured data on the verticality of tank shells, the roundness of tank shells, the flatness of the tank bottom, and any subsidence.
Laser scanning also captures information on appurtenances such as nozzles, access points, stairs, and ladders as well as nearby structures and terrain. Built-in cameras capture digital images that provide additional documentation of tank conditions.
Software is used to take data from an inspection and automatically merge multiple point clouds into a single cohesive dataset. With the software enabling basic clean-up and organization, the resulting point cloud provides a comprehensive and precise picture of the inspection, enables users to create high-density 3D digital representations of storage tanks, analyse the data following API 653 Standard guidelines, and automatically detect out-of-tolerance areas
APPLICATIONS
IR thermography is used to measure temperature variances of a component as heat flows through, from, or to that component. Images of the detected temperature distribution are called thermograms and are used to confirm machinery is running normally and to detect abnormal heat patterns within a machine, indicating inefficiency and defects and they make it possible to see heat-producing objects invisible to the naked eye.
The primary goal of infrared thermography IR thermography is utilized in many industries and applications. In the oil and gas and chemical processing industries, for example, thermography can be used to detect piping insulation issues, and fluid levels, or identify trouble spots where rotating equipment is experiencing too much friction. Furthermore, IR testing is commonly used to locate hot spots and anomalies such as voids and inclusions. The benefits of IR testing include extended equipment life, decreased unscheduled shutdowns, reduced risk of equipment failure, and increased performance.
