The most concern for power plant is the sudden shut down of a boiler, which may caused by
leakage of water tube . How could we effectively manage our tube’s condition except just praying for luck?
We’re happily welcome you to join our workshop for New NDT technology, where we will specifically
discuss the quality control for boiler tubes by instructing new NDT tech in which to avoid the enormous
cost of probable sudden shut down.
Storage tanks plays an important role in petrochemical or natural gas plants for supplying oil, gas under high heat, high pressure.
In recent years, oil suppliers began to realize the risk of leakage from bottom plate is constantly rising due to corrosion environment and decrepit equipment. Pulsed Eddy Current is able to detect corrosion located at the opposite side of the plate, ensuring the defect depth is correctly quantified. This time, we had a great chance to assess the condition of storage tank plate with 6mm thick.
The scanning plan;
1.PEC analyzes the transient eddy current in a conductive component after a sharp
electromagnetic transition.
2.Drawing straight lines onto the plate was an important part before making any contact. It also helped correspond defects’ positions and led inspector while scanning.
3.After the evaluation, two corrosions were found and marked on the plate.
Analysis;
From the C-scan & system’s algorithm, the remaining wall thickness are 2.2mm and 2.3mm respectively behind the plate (soil side). Pictures showed sever corrosion after removal. Above all, we had confirmed that PEC was a suitable technique for finding defects where people couldn’t visually assess while quantifying defect depth at the same time, minimizing the risk of leakage.
