Team’s Corrosion Mapping provides reliable information about the remaining wall and ID geometries of equipment and piping to engineers and inspectors, who use the information to establish corrosion rates, equipment longevity and maintenance and repair cycles. It also provides information on the material integrity, such as laminar defects and blistering, which may occur due to the migration of hydrogen through the material due to process.
Using Corrosion Mapping it is possible to scan up to 400 square feet of surface area per day with the automated system. All vessels and piping systems in the refining and petrochemical industry are subject to material degradation and automated corrosion scanning can help detect where problem areas exist or where they may possibly exist in the future. AUT scanning provides digital images, which can be regenerated or archived for future examination. AUT corrosion scans can be remapped to establish flaw extension over time, allowing Fitness for Service assessments.
