NON-DESTRUCTIVE EXAMINATION

FAST™

(Flaw Analysis and Sizing Technique) is an innovative technology that has been developed to allow for reliable ultrasonic inspection in a variety of components, materials, and thicknesses.

FAST™ is an innovative way to use a longitudinal wave to do both detection and sizing of flaws.

The most outstanding feature of FAST™ is the significant reduction of false calls while maintaining very high levels of detection.

FAST™ has been successfully applied to:

• PDI qualified pipeline integrity examinations

• Through-wall sizing of planar flaws• Stress Corrosion Cracking sizing• Heat exchanger tube welds

• Boiler tube welds• Single side access S/S

examinations• Thin-wall crack detection

QUEST®

(Quality Ultrasonic Examination and Sizing Technology) is an enhanced or automated version of FAST™ and, when applied allows for less expensive and more reliable inspection of pipeline welds.When QUEST™ UT is utilized, the entire weld volume is examined in one scan, and many flaw sizes and shapes can be obtained. With QUEST®, there is no limitation

on thin-walled material and only one side of the weld is needed for scanning. QUEST® can accurately depth size long seam OD cracking found after Magnetic Particle examination. Detection, characterization, through-wall sizing and length sizing are done during the detection scan with no changes necessary in setup parameters or equipment.

OD ANOMALY ASSESSMENTThe Creaform laser scanner and Pipecheck software combine to provide extremely accurate (up to 50 micron) and repeatable results with acquisition speeds up to 80 times faster than manual pit depth gauging.Corrosion - the Pipecheck corrosion module offers very fast and reliable data processing that generates instant, on-site results. In comparison with traditional measurement methods, this software offers accuracy and repeatability that are beyond expectations.Mechanical Damage - the Pipecheck mechanical damage module has been developed specifically for pipeline mechanical damage analysis. This module features numerous key functionalities that increase dent understanding and facilitate the decision making process.Corrosion in Mechanical Damage - Pipecheck software is the one and only solution on the market to offer sophisticated tools able to extract corrosion depth that is located within a mechanical damage. This confidence will result in lower maintenance cost and reduced risk of costly failure.
