Guided Wave Ultrasonic Testing

View a PDF copy of our Guided Wave Ultrasonic Testing Brochure.

PetroChem opened a new era in inspections which can characterize long runs of pipe from a single set-up point using our long-range guided wave ultrasonic testing. The tool is a low-frequency ultrasonic device that can detect corrosion in pipe up to 300 feet in either direction from a single inspection point.

This method requires that insulation be removed or access provided to only 24 inches of clean pipe with 6 inches of clearance above and below circumferentially. The tool can handle pipe sizes from two inches to 60 inches in diameter.

• Insulated piping systems (CUI)
• Piping passing through dikes and concrete walls
• Jetty and wharf piping
• Offshore piping (splash zones)
• Boiler/Heater tube inspections
• Buried pipelines between excavations
• Overhead piping on towers
