ABI SCANA & B Scan Enhancement Imaging

• Real-time Inspection of difficult access areas. • Complicated geometries. (flange welds, bearings, rail boogies etc.) • Graphical record for the inspection report.• Recovery of the single shot and dynamically changing A-Scans along the scanning path.• Amplitude filtering with suppressing of the B-Scan-En hanced segments corresponding to the echo amplitudes below the variable threshold level.• Determining of the defects coordinates and projection sizes.• Detecting the defects which are well below DAC curve.

Corrosion MappingStraight beam inspection with 3D data presentation (B-, C-, and D-Scan) is performed through continuous measuring and recording of echo amplitudes and reflectors coordinates during XY scanning.

Corrosion mapping is used on parent materials of vessels, pipes, storage tanks and other structures. This is especially useful for corrosion monitoring of large structures or key areas for any pitting, general corrosion, or severe corrosion.

Each scan is represented by pixels of a colour scale that corresponds to the thickness measured. It can be viewed from top(C-scan), side(B-scan), and end angles(D-scan) to provide a comprehensive visualisation of the component’s condition.

A-scans can also be recorded and exported to other user friendly programs such as Microsoft Office, to plot a three dimensional view of the scanned area.

Applus+Velosi provide both automated and manual corro-sion mapping using the PSP-4 Force Technology system (T-Scan) and Sonotron ISONIC 2006 system (C-Scan).

TOFD Time of Flight Diffraction-In service inspection of welds

Applus+Velosi TOFD is a UT technique that relies on detection of diffracted waves to find defects. The system operates in a pitch & catch configuration using a transmitting probe and a receiving probe. It is well suited for the rapid inspection of girth welds on pipes and vessels and provides real time data. Our ToFD is a preferred inspection method in the search for preferential weld root erosion and corrosion. When the beam comes in contact with the tip of a flaw or a crack, diffracted energy is cast in all direc-tions. Measuring the time of flight of the diffracted beams enables accurate and reliable flaw detection and sizing even if the crack is off-oriented to the initial beam direction.

KEY FEATURES

• UT technique to inpsect girth welds.• Relies on detection of diffracted waves to find defects.• Defect sizing - height and length.• Weld thickness from 6mm up to 350mm.• Pipe diameter from up to 75mm OD.• Surface temperatures up to 450˚C.• Equipment battery power of 110V-240V AC.• A single pass for the required inspection coverage.• Automated Ultrasonic Inspection (PSP-4 Force).• Manual Ultrasonic Inspection system (ISONIC).

APPLICATIONS

• New weldments to record a repeatable base line image.• In-service weldments for erosion loss at the root zone.• In-service weldments on high temperature surfaces.• In-service Weldments for preferential corrosion loss at

the root and heat affected zone (HAZ).• In-service weldments for original build quality assess- ment prior to change in operating conditions of the

equipment.• In-service weldments and material for fatigue or

service related cracking problems.• New construction HDPE fusion weld inspection.

BENEFITS

• Less dependent on probe position and defect orienta- tion than pulse echo techniques. • Comprehensive coverage by the wide beam.• Accurate determination of defect height and length.• High Probability of Detection(POD).• Inspection results are immediately available as a

permanent record of the inspection.• ToFD fingerprinting, applied during construction, may

reduce future in-service inspection costs.• Can be used on plastics like HDPE materials.

LIMITATIONS

• Small near surface defects may not be detectable dueto lateral wave (dead zone).

• Harder to apply to complex geometries.• May need to be applied in conjunction with pulse-echo

scans.• Cannot always be used on high grain size, anisotropic

material structure such as Stainless and Duplex steelwelds (to be investigated on a case-by-case basis).

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

With TOFD scans, the transmitting and receiving probes are positioned equidistantly from the weld centre and scanned parallel with the weld.

During operation, ultrasound is transmitted at an angle into the weld by one probe. If the sound is obstructed by a defect, some of the energy is diffracted at its edges and detected by the receiving probe. The signals are recorded, processed with specialized software for interpretation and sizing of indications.

By varying the transducer type, size, frequency, separation and number of scans the operator can “best fit” the system to the application.

Phased Array UTWeld Inspection and Crack Detection

The Applus+Velosi Phased Array Ultrasonic Technique (PAUT) concept for defect measurement during weld inspections represents a significant step forward over conventional technologies. Phased Array technology involves the use of multiple ultrasonic elements and the application of electronic time delays to the individual elements. Ideal for a wide range of weld inspection applications, phased array technolo-gy enables the highest levels of defect detection and at the same time minimizes the time needed for inspections.

KEY FEATURES

• Wall thickness from 6mm onwards.• Pipe diameter from 21mm onwards.• Accuracy +/- 0.2mm in gauging mode.• High levels of repeatability.• Ultrasonic transducer from 16 to 64.• Test frequencies 2.25MHz, 5MHz, and 10MHz.• Multiple-angle inspection• A single, small, multi-element probe and wedge• Operating temperatures up to 200˚C.• Operation of up to 8 hours with a single battery.• 3.5kg operating weight with batteries and probe.• Ideal for scanning large areas of weld.

APPLICATIONS

• Piping weld inspection. • Inspection of complex geometries. • Corrosion mapping. • Inspection of nozzle welds. • Turbine component inspection. • Detection of stress corrosion cracking. • Flange sealing face inspections. • Shaft and axle inspections. • Pressure vessel weld inspection.

BENEFITS

• No safety hazards & no radiation requirement.• Minimize re-verification of discountinuity costs.• Small footprint of the transducer. • Use multiple elements to steer, focus and scan beams with a single transducer assembly.• Electronic focusing - optimize beam shape and size at defect location, probability of detection. • Multiple angles from a single probe - increases the probability of detection of anomalies. • Ability to focus at multiple depths - improve the ability for sizing critical defects for volumetric inspections. • Improved defect detection and sizing. • A wide range of inspection parameters.• Compliant with all known codes. • Rapid component coverage.• Beam forming and beam steering capabilities. • Sectorial scanning.• Real time inspection.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The ultrasonic test data will be based on time and ampli-tude information derived from processed RF waveforms. These waveforms and the information extracted from them will commonly be presented in one or more of four formats: A-scans, B-scans, C-scans, or S-scans.

FLANGE SCANNERPhased Array Inspection on Raised Face Flanges

KEY FEATURES

• Flange size from Class 150 to 2500.• Flange thickness from 0.88“ to 8”.• Pipe nominal size from 6“ to 24”.• Small probe suitable for all flanges down to 3/4”.• Temperature up to 100˚C.• Phased Array UT technology accurately acquires scan

data from a single revolution of the flange.

BENEFITS

• Flanges can be inspected without disassembly.• In-service scanning capability saves time and money.• Both sides of the flange are typically inspected at the

same time.• Encoded scanner allows for accurate repeatable

inspections for monitoring known defects.• Repeatable and consistent results.• The data is permanently recorded to allow audit or

future damage monitoring.• Can perform online inspections with no need to stop

production.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

With phased array ultrasonic technology(PAUT), the tester manipulates multi-element probes to modify beam proper-ties such as angle, standoff distance and focus.

To inspect the raised flange face area, encoded magnetic scanners direct sound from the OD of the flange between the bolt holes. With PAUT one can engineer the ultrasound angles to fit the specific flange geometry. Also, the multi-ple ultrasound angles can be used to optimize data displays of corrosion and/or erosion in flanges.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Applus+Velosi INCOTEST monitors the decay of an eddy current pulse within a steel wall, computing the average metal thickness by comparing the transient time(echo) of selected signal features with similar calibration tests. The resulting measurement can be influenced by a number of factors like metallurgy variations (magnetic and electrical properties) and temperature.

CHIME & CUPS Creeping Head Inspection Method & Corrosion Under Pipe Support

Applus+Velosi CHIME and CUPS are used for detecting corrosion and pitting under clamps and pipe sup-ports where it is not directly feasible to be inspected by normal inspection method. CHIME is based on the through thickness technique and is good for detecting gradual thickness degradation and insensi-tive to small pitting. It can be carried out on pipes. CUPS is based on reflection principles and is good for the detection of small and large corrosion pitting but insensitive for graduation degradation of wall thickness. It can be conducted externally on annular plates and the whole area can be covered by swivel-ling the probe.

KEY FEATURES

• UT technique to inpsect.• Service inspection on inaccessible areas.• Pipe diameters 50mm and above.• Battery operated equipment.• A single pass for the required inspection coverage.

APPLICATIONS

• Pipe supports or saddles.• Clamps.• Vessel or tanks.• Pipe or plate screening for internal corrosion.• Annular plates of the storage tank.• Floor plates of the storage tank .• Inaccessible pipe walls.• Walls of the underground storage tanks.

BENEFITS

• Large areas can be inspected with a single pass.• Estimates the extent of corrosion attack.• Full volume can be inspected with probes by up to 1 m.• Sensitive to both internal and external surfaces.• Inspection without removing supports.• Easy Interpretation using ISONIC Office software.• Recordable raw data for future analysis or reference.• Provides plane view of the surface.• Allows localizing defects.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

CHIME, Creeping Head Inpsection Method

• Floor map technique based on receiving an echo fromthe defect.

• Creeping waves can be generated by using a transducerangled at the critical angle.

• The creeping wave continually generates shear waves(HEAD waves) which propagates along the surfaces.

• If the receiver is placed some distance away (up to 1m),the series of signal is observed at the receiver and theentire volume of the sample is inspected.

CUPS, Corrosion Under Pipe Support

• The specially designed probe emits the ultrasonic beamhaving the width, duration of the wave package andbasic wave length comparable with the thickness of theplate.

• The ultrasonic wave package saturates the volume ofthe plate/ pipe and any reflection echoes from pittingand corrosion damage picked up by the probe andproduced as an image.

LRUTLong Range Guided Wave Ultrasonic Testing for Pipelines

Applus+Velosi LRUT is for detecting corrosion and metal loss in pipe work. It is a pulse-echo system, aimed at testing large volumes of material from a single test point. The collar clamped around the pipe produces a 360° sound wave moving axially down the pipe using the pipe itself to guide the wave. Applus+Velosi LRUT is primarily a screening tool and does not provide a direct measurement of pipe wall thickness. The technique is sensitive to a combination of the depth and circumferential extend of any metal loss on both the outside and inside surfaces of the pipe. A signal response is produced where the cross-section is reduced or changes character at a weld or other pipe feature.

KEY FEATURES

• UT technique to inpsect.• Detection of internal or external metal loss, corrosion and erosion under insulation of pipes.• Pipe diameters from 3” to 48”.• Typical length ±30m per direction.• Operating temperature up to +100°C.• Metal loss down to 3% of pipe Cross Sectional Area.• Detection of 9% Cross Sectional Area metal loss flaws.• Discrimination between flaws and pipe features; welds, bends, supports, etc..• Longitudinal accuracy is better than 100mm.• Rotation 8 times around pipe.• 360° sound wave.

APPLICATIONS

• Road and river crossings.• Power plant tubing. • Offshore risers.• Offshore topsides pipe work. • Jetty lines. • Refinery pipe work. • Chemical plant pipe work. • Tank farm link lines.• Pipe bridges.• Spiral welded pipe.• Nuclear boiler spines.

BENEFITS

• Rapid screening for in-service degradation.• Avoidance of total removal /reinstatement of insulation or coating, except at location of transducer tool.• Ability to inspect inaccessible areas.• Reduction in costs of gaining access.• 100% coverage in test range.• Multi defect focus capability -Longitudinal, torsional and flexural wave modes on one tool without transducer change.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

LRUT employs low frequency guided waves, operating justabove audible frequencies, propagated from a ring of transducers fixed around the pipe. These low frequencies (in ultrasonic terms) are necessary to enable appropriate wave modes to be generated.

A satisfactory ultrasonic coupling being achieved with mechanical or pneumatic pressure applied to back of the transducers to maintain contact with pipe surface.

Wherever the wave encounters a change in pipe wall thickness, a proportion of energy is reflected back to the transducers, thereby providing a mechanism for detection of discontinuities.

LoRUSLong Range Ultrasonic to detect corrosion In Tank Annular Plates

Hidden corrosion on difficult to reach places such as walls and bottoms of storage tanks causes serious problems. Early detection is often impossible or very expensive, as the object concerned will have to be taken out of service. Applus+ Long Rang Ultrasonic (LoRUS) was developed in order to be able to screen the annular plates using a manipulator. This is a fast and cost-effective way of defecting on-stream hidden corrosion in time.

KEY FEATURES

• UT technique to inpsect.• Wall thickness at annular outside from 6mm to 25mm.• Width annular outside minumum 50 mm.• Scanning speed: 30 m /day. • Resolution: 1,0 mm. • Operating temperature: from 0°C to 50°C. • Fresh water is used as couplant. • The equipment is not explosion-proof.

APPLICATIONS

• In storage tank’s annular plate from the outside of the tank.• Non-welded pipe support sleepers and pipes through concrete walls.• Riser pipes at clamp locations.• Vessel supports.• Nozzle reinforcement plates.

BENEFITS

• Tank does not need to be offline thus saving time and reducing costs.• Hidden corrosion can be detected onstream.• Ability to inspect difficult-access locations.• Non invasive technique for in service inspection.• Accurate corrosion mapping in a range of 1m inside a tank while being filled with fluid.• Inspection results can be used to input risk based analysis for tank inspection management.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

LORUS applies high sensitivity angle beam transducers in combination with an ultrasonic data recording system. The ultrasonic wave travels over multiple skips into the hard-to-access region. All four probes are moved automati-cally across the examination surface by the manipulator.

The presence of corrosion is established in the pulse-echo reflection mode. Reflection signals can be recorded together with 3-axis position encoder information. In final results coherent projection maps are calculated and shows direct location and extent of corrosion in one-to-one images.

EXAMINATION CONDITION

Free space• Free space without obstacles like nozzles, piping, cables, supports, insulation• Minimum 1 m high on the tank wall, measured from the annular. • Minimum 1 m between obstacles.

Surface Condition• The tank wall must be carbon steel for the magnetic wheels of the manipulator. • The scanning surface must be free of impurities, welding slag, surface corrosion and coating.

MFLMagnetic Flux Leakage Method for Tank Floor Testing

Applus+Velosi provides Magnetic Flux Leakage Inspection (MFL) for the oil and gas, petrochemical and power industries. We use FloormapVS2i which is the most reliable version of MFL corrosion detection, sizing & mapping floor scanner. The MFL technology is similar to Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) but without the ink or magnetic particle. The component is magnetised to a level at which the presence of a significant local reduction in material thickness causes sufficient distortion of the internal magnetic field to allow flux lines to break the test surface at the site of the discontinuity.

KEY FEATURES

• Latest generation of permanent magnets.• Uses Neodymium Iron Boron magnet.• Motorised guided wheel with speed control.• Plate thickness up to 12.5mm (20mm in manual mode).• Coating thickness up to 6mm.• Maximum speed up to 450 mm/s.• Data capture rate of every 1 mm.• High sensitivity.

Software

Captured data is imported onto the desktop reporting software for further analysis; utilizing its computing power for visual representations of defects on a tank-wide or plate-by-plate basis. This helps with:

• Re-analysis of defects to identify profile type and re-size.• Automatic generation of CAD drawing of tank floor. • Adding appurtenances such as manways, pipes, sumps.• Zoom function of whole floor or specific areas. • Numbering system. • Shows major defects per track. • Shows selected levels of corrosion. • Edits data at global / plate or individual defect level. • Adds defects from other types of inspection into the Floormap report. • Adds MFL data from annular inspection into Floormap report. • Weld defect reporting function. • Floormap data 2D display at 15 mm resolution. • Statistics per plate or per tank. • Report generator with comprehensive printing.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

MFL technology is similar to Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) but without the ink or magnetic particle. The compo-nent is magnetised to a level at which the presence of a significant local reduction in material thickness causes suffi-cient distortion of the internal magnetic field to allow flux lines to break the test surface at the site of the discontinuity.With MFL, suitable sensors are used to give an electrical signal at the leakage site. This signal may operate an audi-ble or visual alarm to alert the inspector or may store the event for computer mapping of the area.

CRTComputed Radiography Testing

Applus+Velosi CRT is particularly useful to monitor the condition of pipelines, valves and fittings for cor-rosion, erosion, mechanical wear, etc. It allows the comparison of images between two time separated investigations so that the relative rate of corrosion or erosion can be determined. We can monitor almost any kinds of valve and fitting in an acceptable exposure time as our CRT is equipped with an x-ray machine, the commonly used Ir192 and the high energy Co60 for heavy walled steel components up to approximately 200 mm thickness.

KEY FEATURES

• Phosphor imaging plates up to 35.5 cm (14 inch) wide.• Thickness up to 200mm.• Greyscale levels(GSL) up to 4096 (12 bits) per pixel and with monitors displaying up to 256 (8 bits) GSL.• High resolution mode at a pixel size of 17 and 25micron. • Code compliant radiography method of inspection.

APPLICATIONS

• Wall thickness measurements.• Corrosions assessments (including CUI and FAC). • Check on blockages. • Insulated pipes and objects. • Inspection of girth welds.

BENEFITS

• No need to remove insulation of tubular pipes.• Direct results after scanning on-site. • Large dynamic range. • Dose reduction from 50% to 70%.• No use of films, chemicals or dark-rooms. • Use of image processing tools.• Digital archiving, reporting and transporting. • Less retakes. • Digital images. • High sensitivity & resolution.• Resuable imaging plates.• The light weight cassettes and imaging plates allow for access in difficult to reach areas.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Applus+Velosi CRT employs Phosphor Imaging plates(IPs), which when irradiated, stores a latent radiographic image for an unspecified period of time, similar to a classical X-Ray film. The imaging plate is then inserted into a scanner.

A laser beam scans the imaging plate with a pre-selected scanning resolution to digitise the latent image before it is sent to a high resolution note book computer for post processing. After the scanning, it is possible to erase the last latent mage and reuse the imaging plate.

Computerised Intepretation

Since the image is transformed into a digital format interpre-tation can be done by means of a computer. By using image processing tools the images can be enhanced which leads to a better and easier interpretation.

RHYTHM SOFTWARE

The Rhythm Radiography software suite from GE combines advanced image acquisition, review and data management tools for all X-ray testing methods, including computed radiography, digital radiography and film digitisation. Its advanced data sharing capabilities allow significant improvements in productivity and enable faster identifica-tion of quality problems, leading to reduced production defects or better in-service asset management .

Work scope includes :• Cleanliness verification.• Weld verification.• Foot prints.• Problem solving.• Condition monitoring.• Foreign object search.

BENEFITS

• Reduces confined space entry.• Reduces operational and safety risk.• Reduces/eliminates equipment disassembly.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Combining a camera system with an NDT technique provides solutions to many difficult inspection problems.

Remote operated vehicles can position an inspection tool via suitable camera/lighting systems. This enables monitoring of the tool’s position and performance and ensures that the equipment passes obstructions. The cameras also collect information on corrosion, cracking, wear, coating condition, process build-up, and marine growth.

This information, when combined with radiography, ultra-sonics, eddy current, magnetic particle and magnetic flux tests, provides a detailed and comprehensive assessment of a component’s condition.
