As with most NDT applications, by automating the process, the probability of detection significantly increases. With the added benefit of digitally recording the inspection, results can then be easily shared remotely for enhanced interpretation capabilities. In short, removing some of the limitations caused by human factors.
Leveraging our in-house R&D expertise, an automated and semi-automated flange scanning system was developed in order to effortlessly capture flange inspection data from both the taper and hub sections simultaneously. This bespoke solution not only ensures fully documented inspections, but also reduces inspection time by 33% by simultaneously recording both taper and hub scans.
To enhance the inspection process, Bilfinger Danmark A/S embraced cutting-edge Phased Array technology, incorporating Full Matrix Capture and Total Focussing Methods. This innovative approach vastly improved defect sizing capabilities when compared to the existing Phased Array methods. Furthermore, we introduced a 3D visualisation feature, simplifying the analysis of intricate geometric data. This empowers our clients to effortlessly pinpoint the exact location of detected corrosion.
