NDT - CUI Inspection
Pulsed Eddy Current corrosion inspection – PEC
Corrosion under insulation
- Detection of corrosion under insulation
- High-performance pulsed eddy current (PEC) solution
- Portable instrument, real-time C-scan imaging, fast data
acquisition (up to 15 readings per second) with grid-mapping
and dynamic scanning modes
- Can scan through thick metal (up to 38 mm/1.5 in) and
insulation (up to 152 mm/6 in liftoff)
- Inspection trough weather jackets
- Can scan directly on the corroded product (scab / blister)
- Inspection through concrete, polymer coating, chicken wire
- Inspection on elbows and near nozzles, flange, pipe supports
- Three plug-and-play probes of different sizes for the right
balance between wall thickness and liftoff
- Pipe diameters from 4”
