Just received certification of System 1 for Turbomachinery course completion by Bently Nevada, a Baker Hughes business Very interesting workshops demonstrate how the platform can be used efficiently to minimize time spent looking at non-significant data and to focus on the information that is needed to make good management decisions. What I have learned from the workshop is; - Manage alarms and generate diagnostic reports with actionable information. - Manage alarm setpoints with statistical tools. - Verify transient and steady-state data using various types of plots, analyze, and visualize data to report on machine health, and determine appropriate actions. - Maintain healthy S1 databases to ensure operational efficiency. #Condition_Monitoring #Vibration_Analysis #Turbomachinery #Reliability

Q: What is sub-terahertz detection technology? A: Sub-terahertz detection technology passively measures sub-terahertz electromagnetic light emitted by corrosion. For asset integrity managers, it indicates where in their vast pipe networks corrosion is taking place. ---- Q: What makes it different to other detection methods? A: It’s human-safe, and detects early-stage CUI, rather than wall loss itself. ---- Q: How is it changing asset integrity? A: It’s changing plenty – our technology is used to non-intrusively inspect operational plants, which helps to minimise downtime. Furthermore, as an initial screening tool, it helps asset integrity teams to apply advanced NDT techniques precisely where they’re needed. ---- If you want to see its benefits at your facility, reach out to me, David Haskett, to discuss our ongoing field trials -> https://lnkd.in/eitZpnPV #subterahertz #technology #CUI #advancedNDT

Do you know that the ACFM (Alternating Current Field Measurement) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to detect and size surface-breaking cracks in metals. ACFM is highly regarded for its ability to provide reliable and reproducible results, making it a preferred choice in various industries for ensuring structural integrity and safety. Here’s a brief overview: * Principle: ACFM sends electricity into the material’s surface. When there’s a crack, it disrupts the Electromagnetic field, and results perturbations are detected by sensors. * Advantages: ACFM doesn’t require taking off paint - it can work right through it. -Speed: The method is relatively quick and can cover large areas efficiently. -Quantitative Data: It provides accurate information about the length and depth of cracks. -Minimal Surface Preparation: Requires less surface preparation compared to some other NDT methods. -Environmental Friendliness: It doesn’t involve the use of chemicals or produce harmful waste. * Application involves; - Offshore Structures: Commonly used in the inspection of offshore oil and gas platforms. - Aerospace: Used to inspect aircraft components. - Manufacturing: Applied in the quality control of manufactured components. - Bridges and Infrastructure: Useful in assessing the integrity of critical infrastructure. * Procedure; - A probe carrying the AC field is scanned over the surface of the material. - Sensors detect changes in the electromagnetic field caused by any surface-breaking defects. - Data is collected and analyzed using specialized software to determine the size and position of cracks.

We know the frustration of receiving mountains of data and countless images from NDT/NDE investigations, only to be left with the task of deciphering it all yourself. The challenge of sifting through information that often raises more questions than it answers is all too common in our industry. At Trace Structural Investigations, we do things differently. In a market crowded with NDT/NDE structural investigation companies, our unique selling point (USP) lies in our ability to interpret and analyze the data we collect—what we call Non-Intrusive Analysis (NIA). While many firms are content to deliver raw data and pretty pictures, very few offer the level of interpretation and actionable insights that we do. And even fewer can match the quality and confidence that we bring to the table. Our commitment is simple: we don’t just hand over data; we deliver answers. Our detailed, interpretative reports are designed to provide real value, freeing you from the time-consuming task of analysis and giving you the clarity needed to make informed decisions. We stand by our work, putting our name and reputation on the line with every report we produce. When you partner with us, you can trust that our insights are not just data points but a deep understanding of what’s happening within your structure. If you’re tired of sifting through endless data and ready for clear, actionable insights, reach out to us. Let’s work together to simplify your workload and enhance the value of your projects. #StructuralEngineering #NDT #NDE #DataInterpretation #EngineeringExcellence #NonIntrusiveAnalysis #CivilEngineering #StructuralIntegrity #TraceStructuralInvestigations #QualityReporting #InfrastructureHealth #ProfessionalEngineering #InnovativeSolutions #EngineeringConsulting #ActionableInsights #ProjectSuccess

Continuing on our theme of asset condition assessments, our third in this series of posts builds on the previous two of why carry out condition assessment work and the broad overview of condition assessment options. This week, we will further focus on some of the common non-destructive testing methods and provide some background as to which methods work on which assets. Ultrasonic Testing (UT): Principle: Ultrasonic waves are transmitted through the pipe wall, and the reflections from internal defects or changes in material properties are analysed to assess the condition of the pipe. Application: UT is effective for detecting defects such as corrosion, erosion, cracks, and wall thickness variations in metallic and non-metallic pipes. This is good for difficult to access areas as can be attached to ROV's. Procedure: A transducer is placed on the outer surface of the pipe, and ultrasonic waves are sent into the material. The reflected waves are analysed to determine the location and size of defects. Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL): Principle: MFL uses magnetic fields to detect variations in the thickness of the pipe wall caused by corrosion or other defects. Application: MFL is primarily used for detecting corrosion in metallic pipes. Procedure: A magnetizer is used to saturate the pipe wall with a magnetic field, and sensors detect changes in the magnetic flux caused by defects in the pipe wall. The full diameter of the pipe needs to be exposed to get the best results. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR): Principle: GPR uses electromagnetic waves to detect changes in the material properties of the pipe wall, such as voids, cracks, or other anomalies. Application: GPR is effective for assessing the condition of non-metallic pipes, as well as locating buried pipes and detecting voids or leaks around pipes. This is one of the few techniques that can work on plastic pipes. Procedure: GPR equipment emits radar pulses into the ground or pipe wall, and the reflections are analysed to create a subsurface profile of the pipe and surrounding area. Acoustic Testing (AT): Principle: AT monitors the resonance of acoustic energy along the pipe wall to detect pipe wall thickness. Application: AT is used for detecting the remaining pipe wall thickness of metallic or AC pipes. This can typically only be used on water pipes at present. Procedure: AT sensors are attached to the pipe surface or fittings and acoustic signals are created and the times for propagation along the pipe are recorded and analysed to provide remaining pipe wall thickness. From these results, remaining useful life can be calculated. These NDT methods offer valuable insights into the condition of pressure pipes without causing damage, allowing asset owners to identify defects early, prioritise maintenance, and ensure the reliability of water infrastructure. This is not an exhaustive list by any means, but offers some insight into what is available for condition assessment inspections.
