Looking under the Covers for Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) with the C-arm

https://youtu.be/RGOL01FhIbw From food processing to refineries, 60 – 80% of pipe maintenance costs have been attributed to Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI, see Brian J. Fitzgerald et al, Strategies to Prevent Corrosion Under Insulation in Petrochemical Industry Piping, NACE-03029, CORROSION 2003). One tool that we use in our CUI combat is the C-arm radiographic system (also called RTR, or real time

Ditch Talks – Taking Care of Pipelines

After non-destructive pipeline In-line Inspections (ILI) are completed, numerous further ditch tests follow. These ditch tests are used to validate and refine the ILI findings. The top left image shows an IRISNDT inspector performing Ultrasonic testing (UT) to verify and refine the ILI depth assessment of an inside surface pit. The top right image shows one of the pits found (the

Are You as Good as this Robotic Inspection?

     IRISNDT’s robotic inspection groups in Canada, the UK and the USA now deploy 3D localization. What does this mean? Inspection personnel create a 3D digital twin of the pressure vessel to be inspected before the inspection. Then, since the robot uses on-board laser and odometry data to accurately position itself, all NDT measurements and visual inspection pictures are
