Webinar Overview
Corrosion is one of the greatest issues plaguing the industry and is particularly dangerous when defects aren’t readily visible. The evolution of radiographic inspection technology has led to many innovations, especially in the field of automated radiographic testing (ART), creating a viable alternative to manual radiography techniques that enables high-quality, rapid inspections, often with no need to remove insulation or take lines out of service.
Inspectioneering teams up with MISTRAS Group for our webinar, “Detecting Corrosion in Online Insulated and Bare Piping Using Automated Radiographic Testing Technology.” During this webinar, Ian Moreau, Technology Manager at MISTRAS Group, introduces crawler-based X-ray detection systems and their recent expansion into nontraditional applications. Learn how ART has generated critical wall loss data for high-risk, difficult-to-inspect assets, including stacked lines, bundled lines, large diameter, and elevated piping. The presenter also reviews several case studies to provide insight into how these advanced X-ray crawlers are assisting integrity managers in their search for internal corrosion damage and corrosion under insulation (CUI). Key takeaways from this webinar include:
- How ART can be used to detect and evaluate piping corrosion without stripping insulation or taking the line out of service.
- Pros and cons of ART and how to maximize its value.
- Case studies showcasing the adaptation of the tool and technique.
