Corrosion Mapping with Phased Array Ultrasonic
Automated corrosion mapping has become an integral part of NDT inspection programs and is widely accepted within integrity management programs and inspection schemes. However, to optimize productivity, corrosion mapping systems have traditionally been set up with a relatively crude resolution: data points every 3 to 5 mm (0.12 to 0.20 in.).
With Phased Array Ultrasonic technology, the RMS PA automated corrosion mapping system can help increase productivity, without sacrificing the probability of detection, thanks to a resolution of 1 mm (0.040 inches).
Phase Array transducers have a large electronic footprint and with a resolution of 1 mm (0.04 inch) across the entire beam width, the required scan coverage is achieved with a significant reduction in time. The ability to collect high-resolution data at higher scan speeds improves the probability of detection, improves imaging, and improves characterization of defects.
The water box produces a controlled and stable water column that eliminates the need for a shoe, thus providing the benefits of better signal consistency, accuracy and limited dead zone. This concept offers better surface adaptation and better coupling.
Detection capabilities:
- Corrosion and general erosion
- Microbiology-induced corrosion (MIC)
- Hydrogen ampoules (HA)
- Laminations
RMS scan heads
The robust field proven RMS robotic scan head has been successfully deployed in various assets such as storage tanks, pressure vessels, pipelines and other critical structures in harsh environments including oil and gas, offshore, mining and hot assets up to 200 ° C (392 ° F).
RMS-600 is ideal for scanning velocities on large surfaces such as tank housings, pressure vessels and other structures.
The RMS-450 is designed to operate circumferentially on curved surfaces such as pipes or pressure vessels from 152 mm (6 inches) to flat plate.
RMS-300 is a general-purpose scanner for inspecting areas with limited access, vessel heads, or other applications where smaller scan widths are required.
