• Eddy Current Inspection of Tubes (non-ferrous tubes)
• Magnetic Flux Leakage testing of ferro-magnetic tubes

PIPE LINE INSPECTION SERVICES

• Guided Waves Ultrasonic Inspection
• Wavemaker™ uses guided waves to inspect pipes for corrosion from one point. The system has the ability to detect defects in a part of a pipe that is buried or inaccessible. A probe ring is placed around the pipe and transmits guided waves through the pipe in either direction of the probe ring. The pulse echo type operation provides information on feature position and approximate size. The interpretation of results is done with sophisticated analysis aids.
• Inside Pipeline Inspection (using RTD’s Pipeline Inspection Tool) Umbilically tethered scraper.
• Motorised or wheel driven Pipeline Inspection Tool (PIT) measure and record the internal corrosion and the remaining wall thickness with a high degree of accuracy. The PIT is cable operated and capable of inspecting liquid filled pipelines up to 17 kilometers long. The present range covers large diameters between 16 inch and 48″.
• X ray crawler for pipelines.
• Roto Scan for pipeline (Automated UT scanning of pipeline welds)
• Automated UT of pipes and other welds.
• Corrosion control and Cathodic protection.

TANK BOTTOM/ FLOOR INSPECTION

• ank Floor Bottoms Scanning using Low Frequency Electromagnetic Testing (LFET) method – Using Falcon 2000 instrument of TesTex Inc.
• USABEETLE -UT Thickness measuring of tank walls without scaffolding **
• Vacuum box leak detection

PIPING NDT

• Corrosion under Insulation **
• MAP Scan (corrosion mapping) **
• Pipe Scan- DFT **
• Pipe wall thickness/corrosion monitoring by UT without removing insulation **
