Requirements: Safety
At least two barriers of process safety are maintained:
• Nitrogen blanket used on uncleaned, non-purged liquid lines
• Oxygen concentration monitored both at downstream end and at tool
• Explosion-proof tools

NDT Module: EMAT
• UT using Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducers (EMAT)
• Direct Beam (0°) detects and measures:
− Detect metal loss ≥ 0.040”
− Depth measurement accuracy ± 0.020”
− OD and ID corrosion internal and external
− Wall thickness
− Laminations
− Pitting
• Angle Beam (30°) detects and measures:
─ Cracks
─ Pitting
─ Axial slotting
Non-Contact EMAT Sensor

EMAT vs Ultrasonic Testing
• Operating principle similar to piezo UT, but with non-contact wave generation
• Transmitting and receiving ultrasonic shear waves (SH), with linear polarization
• Ultrasonic waves reflect off features and material changes

• Remotely controlled tools add inspection versatility
• Reverse direction, change parameters, or stop and review features of interest
• Navigate virtually any challenging piping • Diameter changes, steep inclines or
verticals, 1.5D bends, unbarred tees • Confirm/generate documentation • Inspect rather than hydrotest (or blind
replace)
