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.

NDTs allow for the evaluation and assurance of optimal tank conditions during deployment, repair, and industrial maintenance.
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.
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.
Non-Destructive Testing in the aerospace industry ensures the safety of critical components through advanced techniques such as Time Reversal and Eddy Currents.
