Allow to inspect hard-to-reach facilities including pipelines in concrete insulation and complex geometric shapes, pipe sections passing above and below river bottoms.

​​

Applicable in a wide range of temperatures and pressures. 

The temperature of the working environment when installing Phonon Emission Transducers directly on the inspected component’s surface can vary from -20 to +70 °C. Temperature of the operating fluid when installing transducers using waveguides can be from -80 to +450 °C.

​

Covers the common range of pipeline diameters and wall thickness without restrictions in their length.

​

The following types of defects can be identified:  

loss of metal of corrosive origin (extensive anomaly),

single and group pits, cracks, 

stress-corrosion cracking and others.

 

Phonon inspection allows to identify defects by

size and depth, type and severity, quantity and location. 

​

Phonon Diagnostics Technique does not require point measurements on surface, instead of this phonon emission is recorded in 100% of inspected component.

 

The product flow rate does not affect inspection results.
