Introduction
Corrosion monitoring
Regular inspections are crucial to maintain the integrity of a plant
Ultrasonic thickness testing is a preferred method
Data collected can be compared against historical data to obtain information on the rate of corrosion and plan maintenance
Data must be made available in a timely manner
Data may have to be presented to interested parties

Introduction
Traditionally data is manually collected, recorded on paper and stored
Written up on a spreadsheet program
Manually added to a separate asset management program
Paper record may be filed away

Introduction
Modern Equipment can speed up data collection
Store data digitally
Wirelessly transmit to PC or mobile device
Organise and archive historical data
Produce professional reports to communicate data to others

Modern UT equipment
Modern UT gauges
Intuitive and menu driven
Digital and accurate
Capable of storing huge amounts of data
Additional visualisations available to help the operator
![Page 9: Simplifying Ultrasonic NDT Data Management · Introduction Corrosion monitoring Regular inspections are crucial to maintain the integrity of a plant Ultrasonic thickness testing is](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062612/6138de520ad5d206764986fa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Modern UT equipment
Modern UT probes
Dual element for sensitivity to internal corrosion and pitting
Intelligent transducers load the optimum gauge setup on connection
Range of frequencies for testing many materials
Special features such as thru-paint measurement

Data Management
Data challenges
A modern plant will require dozens of inspections a week.
Having large volumes of paper to deal with is inefficient and risky
Use computer software to
eliminate the paper
Paperless QA
