Fast, cost-effective pipe corrosion detection - even in inaccessible areas

摘要

A UK company has developed a non-contact ultrasonic technique for assessing corrosion in piping. It has major potential in the petrochemical and power industries because it is able to cost-effectively detect and grade corrosion, even in inaccessible areas, such as under pipe supports. What is claimed to be a revolutionary, cost-saving non-contact ultrasonic technique for assessing corrosion in piping has been launched by MB Inspection, one of the UK's leading inspection management companies. MB Inspection's electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) pipe corrosion detection system has major potential in the petrochemical and power industries because it is able to cost-effectively detect and grade corrosion, even in inaccessible areas, such as under pipe supports. This ultrasonic technique is capable of performing an inspection quickly and economically.
