Ultrasonic Inspections
ATS offers ultrasonic tube inspection services to industrial and commercial clients. Many industries, such as oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and power generation, rely on tubing for essential processes. Periodic inspections help to maintain the reliability, efficiency, and safety of the tubes. ATS conducts ultrasonic tests according to individual clients’ needs while following applicable industry standards.
Ultrasonic testing (UT) uses high-frequency sound waves to determine material characteristics in tubing. The UT transducer emits ultrasonic waves into the test material that echo back to the sensor from the rear wall or any intervening flaws. This allows technicians to determine wall thickness and find the location and depth of subsurface flaws. ATS offers several different ultrasonic solutions for tubing inspection depending on the clients needs, the applicable damage mechanisms’, and the accessibility to the tubing. The following Ultrasonic Techniques can be catered to your specific needs:
- Manual Ultrasonic Thickness Measurements
- Automated Ultrasonic Solutions
- Phased Array Ultrasonics
- IRIS (Internal Rotating Inspections System)
- Near Drum (Boiler Generating Bank Tubes)
Ultrasonic inspections are a cost-effective form of nondestructive testing (NDT) with reliable, repeatable results. UT is portable and only requires access to one side of the tube in most cases. Ultrasonic technology allows technicians to inspect large and irregularly shaped equipment. Our NDT experts can deliver rapid results using UT, giving proprietors the information they need to make quick, informed decisions. Our sophisticated equipment measures thickness and/or locates flaws and estimates their size and shape with high accuracy.
