Pulsed Eddy Current testing (PECT) Corrosion & Thickness measurement without Insulation removal

• Measure corrosion & thickness o Through up to 150mm insulation, concrete, brickwall, HDPE o On ferrous in-service pressure equipment pipes, vessels & tanks. o On 4-65mm thick wall and pipe diameter above 100NB o On underwater structures, marine environment

• Scan over o Cladding - Stainless, Aluminium, Galvanize o Steel surface up to 5500 C (Hot or Cryogenic) o Protective or polymer coating, bitumen

• Not affected by chicken or hog wire reinforcing, straps • Battery powered, remote controlled using extension arm Advantages: • Non-radioactive test method. Hence exclusion zone not required. Eliminate

o Operating asset downtime o Insulation removal/reinstate and save cost o Expensive surface preparation before test o Grinding hazards on in-service equipment.

Limitations: • Measures % Av. relative thickness (PART) at the probe footprint (35-200mm) which

depends on insulation thickness, clad material and test material wall thickness. • Measurements vary near edges of test part
