Follow on Google News | SGS Provides Free Webinar on Efficient Flange Face Inspection in JuneSGS offers complimentary 60-minute webinars on flange face inspection, hosted by Ton Kooren, Global Expert Advanced NDT at SGS, on June 12, 2012.
By: SGS Global Process piping is often connected with flanges, strengthening rims used for attaching objects to one another. There are many conditions under which corrosion appears on the flange faces posing serious danger, which could lead to a reduction in the capacity of the seal and possible leakage. Due to the fact that such structural deficits produce significant costs in terms of repair, environmental damage, and loss of production and revenue, it is of utmost importance to regularly inspect and maintain critical structures and equipment in order to detect damage in the earliest of stages. Ultrasonic phased array enables highly-trained inspectors to identify corrosion on and beneath the flange face surface while in-service. Phased Array (PA) is a non-destructive method of ultrasonic testing used by SGS expert inspectors to expose defects hidden deep inside a structure or weld. PA instruments are more expensive and complex and PA technicians require more experience and training than conventional technicians, generating higher upfront costs which are often offset due to greater flexibility offered by PA and the reduction of time needed to carry out such inspections. Areas of focus include: • Phased Array Application • Flange Face Inspection Approach • Advantages and Limitations • Adding Value to Existing Methods • Recommended Practice and Standards Using well-designed procedures and highly-trained and certified NDT inspectors, SGS non-destructive testing services offer complete or sample examination of assets.
