Corrosion Under Insulation (#cui) is an increasingly hot topic in the world of #assetintegrity. In Spring of 2022, we embarked on a trial using drone-based #thermography and visuals, in a specific workflow, to identify areas at elevated risk of CUI. The original trial on two BFW tanks showed promise after our client precisely cut windows into the cladding & insulation revealing various stages of corrosion. Since then, we have conducted this workflow on ~50 assets and have achieved a success rate of ~75% in uncovering CUI in various states of severity. Recently, one of our crews was back on site at a tank inspected in November 2022 (the recommendations excerpt attached) and confirmed another hit from the #droneinspection screening imaged yesterday. With Voliro & SixPEC making strides with their airborne #pulsededdycurrent payload, we'll soon be able to offer rapid and efficient quantitative examinations to accompany the qualitative inspections where suitable. Reach out to us to learn more about the capabilities AND limitations surrounding the technology and workflow. #droneservices #visualinspection #api653 #storagetanks #corrosionunderinsulation #preventativemaintenance

it is true that wet blasting does not close cracks - however, it takes longer to wet blast than in dry blasting, the biggest advantage is no dust with wet blasting - there are no hocus pocus solutions but a choice
More reliable aerospace NDT crack detection – The flowing nature of wet blasting exposes cracks by cleaning them out, making them more visible during NDT, improving inspection accuracy, speed, and subsequent safety. In contrast, there is a danger of peening surfaces when dry blasting, which can conceal cracks. With our plastic media wet blast formula there is no risk of peening the surface. And unlike dry blasting, components don’t need to be cleaned and dried before wet blasting – saving a significant amount of time. #mro #mroservices #aerospacemanufacturing #aerospaceindustry #vapormattwetblasting

Difference Between CML and TML in Pressure Vessel and Piping Inspection” Understanding the difference between Condition Monitoring Locations (CMLs) and Thickness Measurement Locations (TMLs) is crucial for accurate inspection and monitoring of piping systems. Here’s a quick breakdown: 1. Historical Definitions: - TML (Thickness Measurement Location): Previously referred to a single, specific point where thickness measurements were taken to monitor general and localized corrosion. - CML (Condition Monitoring Location): A broader term introduced in the 9th edition of API 510 and 3rd edition of API 570. It encompasses one or more examination points where periodic examinations are conducted. 2. Scope of Measurement: - TML: Focused on a singular point for thickness measurements. - CML: May include multiple examination points within a designated area, offering a more comprehensive monitoring approach. CMLs cover larger areas and can represent multiple locations, offering broader coverage of equipment conditions. 3. API Code Updates: - Post API updates, TML is now part of CML, and the term TML is no longer used independently. CML is the preferred designation for a designated area with multiple examination points. Example: A CML on a pipe may include four TMLs in different quadrants, allowing better assessment of the pipe's condition than a single TML.

IMSA’s dual spindle concept sees on the same headstock a gun drilling spindle and a milling spindle for other machining operations such as face milling, spot-facing, tapping, and so on. Thanks to our separate spindles: - each unit (that of deep drilling and that for the auxiliary operations) has been OPTIMIZED without compromising technically; - the switchover from gun drilling to milling and vice versa takes place in FULLY AUTOMATIC MODE, in a few seconds: just the electronical axis commutation time; - the switchover is just activated by programming the relevant M functions beforehand, without any intervention by the machinist on the headstock. Which means, the machine can work at maximum efficiency even in UNMANNED SHIFTS. Learn more about IMSA spindles in this article: https://lnkd.in/dpFYbbSN
