TesTex
provides pipeline scanning services for piping that is above ground
and uninsulated. The piping can be painted or have a coating and
still be scanned. For this service, we use the TesTex PS-2000 Pipe
Scanning System based on the principles of the TesTex proprietary Low
Frequency Electromagnetic Technique (LFET). The LFET technology
allows TesTex to rapidly scan areas of piping to achieve greater than
90% coverage. The PS-2000 can be used as a quantitative tool, or as a
rapid screening tool. In the screening mode, we use A-Scan
Ultrasonics to prove-up any flaw indications. This technology is
applicable to magnetic and non-magnetic piping. Cast Iron or other
cast materials can also be tested.

In
Nuclear Power Plants, piping such as Service Water Systems and Fire
Protection Systems can be scanned to detect and quantify MIC
(microbiologically induced corrosion) Attack and even FAC (Flow
Accelerated Corrosion).
|
|
In
coal burning Fossil Power Plants, coal mill piping can be rapidly
scanned for ID erosion from pulverized coal.
|
|
For
short-run underground piping, TesTex can provide inspection services
by gaining access to the pipe ID. Then we can employ the TesTex
Remote Field Electromagnetic Technique.
