Dents and ovalities pose unique challenges for pipeline operations. Traditional inspection methods struggle to locate and assess the size and depths of these features due to their positioning within pipe walls. NDT Global developed Pulse Echo technology to tackle these challenges and address the potential risks these anomalies pose for operators.

🛠️ In continuation of our journey of Special Process, Hope you all gone through last NDT process i.e. Fluorescent Penetrant inspection (FPI). Now, we will move to explore the next NDT process i.e. Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT). Delve into the world of Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT) with me! Discover the intricacies of this nondestructive testing method used to identify surface defects in ferromagnetic materials. From surface prep to inspection, learn about the key steps involved in ensuring the integrity of critical components. #NDT #MagneticTesting #PrecisionInspection 🧲🔍

📢 Join Us for an In-Depth Exploration of Girth Weld Flaw Assessment Models at the International Pipeline Conference & Expo! Mark your calendars for September 26th, from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm, as Eduardo Muñoz, Principal Consultant, presents "Benchmarking of Three Girth Weld Flaw Assessment Models: A Validation Methodology." Eduardo will introduce a methodology to evaluate the performance of three key girth weld flaw assessment models: the Kastner model, API 1104 Appendix A Option 2, and API 579. This comprehensive framework goes beyond the traditional validation process, offering a more robust analysis by comparing predicted values against a broader range of experimental data. 📅 Save the date and join us for this informative session- for additional details on IPC, please visit our event page: rb.gy/iwwh4j #PipelineIntegrity #EngineeringExcellence #ValidationMethodology #GirthWelds #PipelineSafety #Benchmarking

What potential factor could lead to the observed transverse indication pattern in LNG PAUT-Corrosion Mapping of a slug catcher, where a reduction in thickness at the backwall (ID) is captured in both Excel Thickness Grid and PAUT C-scan topography? Answer: The cause of the thickness reduction or transverse indication pattern in the C-scan top view or topographic view of the ultrasonic intensity plot is likely due to a shallow transverse paint removal or scratch on the outer diameter (OD(Scanning Side)) of the component being scanned. This localized paint thickness variation along the transverse direction has impacted minor thickness variation on the inner diameter (ID) of the component. In other words, the irregularity on the outer surface, such as a scratch or paint removal, has influenced the ultrasonic signal during scanning, causing a corresponding variation in the thickness measurement on the inner surface. or some surface pitting may mis interpreted as inner diameter pitting. This discrepancy between the actual thickness and the measured thickness is reflected in the C-scan topography or top view of the ultrasonic intensity plot. In this attached file had discussed on other potential challenges during interpretation and been verified by NDT level-III and Subject Matter Expert.

Effective weld root corrosion assessments are crucial for safe plant inspection and operation. Many critical assets are running at elevated temperatures, what options and tools do you have for these inspections? TOFD carries the highest Probability of Detection (POD) for NDT methods. It allows effective weld root corrosion assessments. HotSense TOFD are high sensitivity probes and wedges for inspections from ambient to +350 °C, enabling on stream measurements of hot assets.

NDT Global ART (Acoustic Resonance Technology): One of the advanced ILI inspection techniques to be used in gas pipelines. Traditionally UT has never been used in gas pipelines, as it requires a liquid couplant medium. NDT Global ART is a direct measurement method, with sub-millimeter accuracy, it can be used for heavy-wall pipeline (up to 75 mm). Furthermore; one tool can be used for multi diameter, with the caliber tool in one run, it also can detect the lamination. It is used for liquid P/L’s as well, And accurately inspects through paraffin (wax) and rough surfaces. Transducer shooting a broadband (multiple frequency) sound signal towards a target. Generating oscillations in target, resonance occurs in the target and greatly amplified, characterizing the wall thickness. #pipeline #advancedILI #NDTGlobal #GSonic #ART #ChallengingInspection #API1163 #AcousticResonance #Costsaving #HighPOD #Criticalgaspipeline

Magnetic Particle Density Meter   The MC-100 is an updated version of our ferrite powder quantity checker which can replace the need for a sedimentation meter in your wet magnetic particle inspections.   Simply take a 10 cc sample from your carrier liquid, place the vial in one of the blue-colored sample ports on the top of the tester, and then press the “ready” button.   After pressing the button, the meter’s built-in induction coil will measure the impedance and calculate the density of the fluorescent particles suspended in the liquid. Each measurement takes about 10 sec with the results shown on the digital display with an accuracy of ± 0.001 g/ℓ   Download Flyer (Japan): https://lnkd.in/gzURttTU  .  Nihon Denji Sokki’s NDT product lineup includes: #magneticparticletesting (MT), #liquidpenetranttesting (PT), #eddycurrenttesting (ET) #ultrasonictesting (UT) #Visualtesting (VT) #magneticfluxleakagetesting (MFLT)   Please visit our solutions page (Japanese): https://lnkd.in/g7xJ-9Ja   #NDT #NDTGroup #nondestructivetesting #ndtcommunity #nde4 #BINDT #asnt #magnetism #materialsevaluation #inspection #qualityassurance #qualitycontrol #japanbusiness
