PROTON - Phased Array Ultrasonic Service for Pipeline Inspections
The PROTON™ Phased Array Ultrasonic Service from NDT Global is a versatile inspection platform designed for comprehensive pipeline integrity assessments. It utilizes a highly configurable phased array approach, enabling the use of multiple angles and techniques such as pulse-echo and pitch-catch for accurate crack detection and sizing. This service is capable of performing high-resolution metal loss measurements and can detect various crack features, including hook cracks, lack of fusion, lack of penetration, and weld anomalies. The technology allows for multi-angle sampling, providing the highest depth tool tolerance available, leveraging both indirect and direct crack tip measurement techniques. The system records multiple attributes like weld type, relative position, and geometry to enhance the precision of feature depth calculations. By utilizing advanced ultrasonic testing methods, PROTON provides a thorough evaluation of pipeline components, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and identifying potential integrity issues, thus enabling pipeline operators to understand the true condition of their assets.
Pipeline Movement Assessment Services
NDT Global provides Pipeline Movement Assessment services designed to help operators monitor and mitigate the risks associated with pipeline displacement. Due to elevation changes, natural phenomena, and third-party interference, pipeline movement can compromise the integrity of an asset. If not identified early, such movements can lead to pipeline failures, product loss, financial penalties, and environmental hazards. NDT Global employs advanced inspection tools to gather precise GPS data on pipelines and identify strain areas, which reveal potential threats. For assets prone to significant external strain, periodic assessments can track the progression of movement-related features. During inspections, tools collect data on pipeline length and curvature, allowing analysts to foresee potential failures and provide essential insights for preventive measures. This data-driven approach enables business owners to make informed decisions on asset remediation, ensuring pipelines function safely and reliably throughout their lifecycle. Contact NDT Global to get detailed insights into how pipeline movement may be affecting your operations.
