TANK INSPECTION

Shell Plate Corrosion Mapping

TechCorr redefines corrosion mapping with cutting-edge technology and innovative methodologies. Departing from traditional manual ultrasonic thickness measurements, our approach utilizes automated robotic crawlers equipped with Rapid Motion Scanners (RMS2 300 & 450) or advanced Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) systems. By collecting thousands of UT thickness measurements, we enhance Probability of Detection (PoD), ensure operator safety, and significantly reduce costs. Experience auditable inspection data and optimize your asset integrity management with TechCorr's state-of-the-art solutions.

Automated Corrosion Mapping on Tank

Corrosion mapping is a pivotal component of asset integrity management, crucial for industries like oil, gas, and nuclear. It employs ultrasonic techniques to detect and map variations in material thickness resulting from corrosion, a phenomenon predominantly influenced by environmental factors such as water exposure. Corrosion manifests diversely, encompassing forms like uniform corrosion, pitting corrosion, exfoliation corrosion, and intergranular corrosion. TechCorr adopts advanced automated or semi-automated scanners employing pulse echo, eddy current, or phased array ultrasonic techniques for corrosion mapping applications.

Life Cycle Assessment through Thickness Readings & Evaluation

Technical Details

Mathematically, the utilization of these techniques yields unparalleled repeatability and accuracy, generating position and size data for every flaw detected. This data serves as a foundation for comparison, enabling the tracking of flaw growth rates and corrosion rates over time. Such quantitative insights are imperative for informed decision-making regarding maintenance and repair strategies.

Formulas used quantify the rate at which material thickness decreases over time due to corrosion, providing valuable insights into the degradation process. By leveraging TechCorr's expertise in corrosion mapping, industries can optimize the inspection of critical assets like pipework, pressure vessels, storage tanks, and reactors.

This optimized approach ensures operational safety and efficiency by identifying and addressing corrosion-related vulnerabilities before they escalate into costly failures, safeguarding both assets and personnel.
