Ultrasound Thickness and Corrosion Mapping – Advanced Solutions for Asset Integrity
Precise Measurement of Material Thickness and Corrosion Monitoring
Ultrasound Thickness and Corrosion Mapping are
non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques used to assess the
thickness and integrity of materials in critical assets. By using high-frequency sound waves, these methods provide accurate measurements to detect
corrosion, erosion, and material degradation in pipes, vessels, tanks, and structural components, without compromising their functionality.
Ultrasound Thickness Testing
Ultrasound Thickness Testing (UTT) measures the thickness of materials to identify thinning due to corrosion, erosion, or manufacturing defects. This technique is commonly used in industries such as mining, oil and gas, manufacturing, and power generation.
- Accurate Measurements: Provides precise thickness readings of metals and other materials.
- Identifies Material Loss: Detects thinning that can affect the strength and integrity of critical components.
- Quick & Non-Invasive: Allows for rapid, on-site inspections without requiring equipment disassembly.
- Applicable to Various Materials: Effective on
steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and other metal alloys.
Corrosion Mapping
Corrosion Mapping is an advanced ultrasound technique that creates a detailed map of corrosion or material loss within a structure. This method provides a comprehensive view of how corrosion is distributed across the material and helps pinpoint areas at higher risk of failure.
- Visual Representation: Generates a detailed corrosion map for easy analysis and monitoring.
- Detects Hidden Corrosion: Locates pitting, wall thinning, and other types of localized corrosion that may not be visible.
- Monitors Asset Condition Over Time: Regular mapping can track the progression of corrosion and help plan maintenance.
- High Sensitivity: Detects corrosion even under coatings, insulation, or paint layers.
Applications of Ultrasound Thickness & Corrosion Mapping
These techniques are essential for ensuring the safety and operational efficiency of various industrial assets. Common applications include:
- Pressure Vessels & Boilers: Detecting corrosion and wall thinning in high-pressure environments.
- Pipelines & Tanks: Monitoring the integrity of pipework and storage tanks in corrosive environments.
- Structural Components: Ensuring load-bearing structures such as bridges and cranes are free from material degradation.
- Mining & Heavy Equipment: Assessing the
condition of mining machinery, trucks, and
chassis for any structural weaknesses or corrosion.
