PAUT/ToFD
Advanced Ultrasonic technique used for flaw detection, sizing, and imaging.
Allows for electrical manipulation of probe characteristics by introducing time shifts to sent and
received signals
Utilizes multi-element (array) probes for increased capabilities over conventional Ultrasonic's.
Corrosion Mapping:
• Guided Waves - LRUT
What is Guided waves? It is a long range ultrasonic inspection technique for the
inspection of typically long pipes. Guided waves travel long distances along the
pipe reaching up to 100m in a pulse echo configuration and depending very much
on potential attenuation causing obstacles. Travel range can be also very short • Ring with ultrasonic probes is
around 5m. clamped around pipe
• Ring generates Low frequency
ultrasonics around pipe
circumference
• Waves travel down the pipe
• Sound reflects features in the pipe
(e.g. Weld, Supports, Flanges and
Corrosion)

Corrosion Mapping:
• Pulsed Eddy Current - PEC
• Screening tool based on Pulsed Eddy Current principle
• Detection of remaining Average Wall Thickness (AWT)
• No contact needed for the measurement
• No special surface preparation needed
• Measurement through insulation, concrete, coating, marine
growth

Corrosion Mapping:
• Rapid Motion Scanner (RMS2)- Silverwing
• Possible to inspect 6mm – 50mm thick material in
X – Y Direction for corrosion mapping.
• 8mm Gap from probe to job enabling to ride over
weld caps.
• 0.5 to 150 mm in 1 mm steps independent X and
Y direction
• Up to 200°C
Corrosion under Support:
Corrosion under pipe supports (CUPS) is an area of concern in the industry
It leads to loss of containment.
A number of in-service leaks and ruptures have been attributed to this type of degradation

Known limitations of visual inspections:


- Visual inspection can provide an indication of corrosion (product build-up, rust staining)
- but visual inspections are significantly hampered by the lack of access to the critical
areas
- and some cases may have corrosion present without any external visible indicators

Visual examination is needed and has to


include:
• Constant load supports out of adjustment
• Shoes off support
• Hanger distortion/damage
• Bottomed out springs
• Brace distortion/damage
• Loose brackets
• Slide plates/rollers
Corrosion under Support:
• Short/Medium Range UT (SRUT/MRUT)
• Short-Range Guided Wave is a technique which uses low frequency sound waves to
flood the wall thickness of a pipe or a plate, and then reflect back at interfaces such
as cracking or corrosion/pitting. A standard ½” near field probe allows for
corrosion and defect inspection in limited space and close proximity situations.
This technique is to be used as a screening tool only as remaining wall thickness
measurements cannot be achieved. However, reflection distance can be measured
with precise accuracy.
•  
• The short range guided wave technique uses a modified B-Scan graph but displays
information in terms of “Plan View” using surface distance calculations. This
technology can detect, image, record amplitude, size, and record X-Y location of
corrosion and /or various defects
