Long Range Ultrasonic Testing
LRUT technology provides a new approach to pipeline inspection. Using low-frequency guided ultrasound waves, it offers several advantages over conventional inspection methods:
it is a fast pipe screening technique which supplies accurate data on metal loss features such as corrosion or erosion and precise information on the location along the pipe of the detected anomalies.
LRUT technology works effectively while your piping system is in operation (up to 80°C) including on insulated or buried sections.
Typical test ranges of ±30m can be achieved from a single location, with up to 150m under ideal conditions.
Guided Wave UT tools are available for use in pipes with diameters ranging from 3″ to 48″.
