Detecting Corrosion Under Insulation with Advanced NDT Methods
The selection of the NDT method depends on the type of insulation, wall thickness and accessibility of the pipe.
The selection of the NDT method depends on the type of insulation, wall thickness and accessibility of the pipe.
La selección del método END depende del tipo de aislamiento, espesor de pared y accesibilidad de la tubería.
NDTs allow for the evaluation and assurance of optimal tank conditions during deployment, repair, and industrial maintenance.
Los END permiten evaluar y asegurar condiciones óptimas en tanques durante despliegue, reparación y mantenimiento industrial.
Los END garantizan que un tanque de almacenamiento cumpla condiciones seguras y operativas antes de entrar en funcionamiento.
NDTs ensure that a storage tank meets safe and operational conditions before being put into operation.
Inspection of storage tanks according to American Petroleum Institute (API) standards are important to prevent not only catastrophic failures, but also to avoid problems related to the mechanical integrity of the assets affected mainly by corrosion in floors, walls and ceilings.
Inspeccionar tanques según API previene fallas catastróficas y problemas de integridad mecánica por corrosión en pisos, paredes y techos.
The field of storage tank inspections comprises in-service and out-of-service inspections of vertical and horizontal above-ground and subway tanks. A combination of techniques including engineering calculations according to API 653 and API 650 and other relevant specifications are used to perform a comprehensive inspection of the overall condition of the tank.
