1. In the name of GOD The Advanced Non-destructive testing and evaluationpp
Dr.M.Farzam
Winter 2018
PUT
Petroleum University of Technology
In the loving memory of Dr. Shahid Mostafa Chamran

2. The advanced ndt includes: 1-digital radiography 2-laser beam inspection 3-infrared thermography 4-acoustic emission 5-ultrasonic testing 6-intelligent pigging
“The results are processed by engineers to lower the risks , to lower the hazards and advance maintenance”

3. 1-Digital Radiography
The left shows the apparatus and defective pipe section.
The right photo shows more defects.

4. D.R. coupled with a software: “Windows Leveling” makes a better analysis:

5. The Right Photo is Processed with “Windows Leveling”

6. You may “Combine” the two Images to Sharpen the Defects

7. 2-Laser Beam Triangulation Technic to make a Better Seam “Welding” Large Diameter Pipline
Pipe weld setup

8. The Laser “Tracking” for a Sound Weld

9. Laser beam “Size” evaluation: Cars Brake Pad

10. Laser “Crack inspection” in Composite Vessel

11. In service Pipeline “crack Inspection”
cracks

12. 3-Infrared Thermography: The Thermally Activated “Flaws” are Detected

13. Where Does IR Stands?

14. The Thermo-modular(Right)and Image(Left)

15. Aero plane Cockpit Inspection
crack

16. Aero plane Engine Inspection

17. Differentiated Defect Size

18. 4-Acoustic Emission: HIGH FREQUENCY “elastic waves” emanating from advancing crack

20. A REAL CASE

21. 5-Ultrasonic testing: use of transducer and oscilloscope

22. Searching for Surface Cracks

23. Phased array: electronically controlled

24. 6-Intelligent pigging: uses “magnetic flux” leakage detector or “electromagnetic acoustic” transducer

25. Defect

26. Computer aided data analysis: just good enough for “rbi” super positioning

27. “Confidentiality must not harm HSE”
Concluding remarks: 1-advanced software aided ndt are just fine. 2-standards: api, iso, nace, igs, ips, …. Must be applied. 3- RBI, PM, …… are recognized tools for technical inspection and corrosion management performances.
“Confidentiality must not harm HSE”

28. Thanks for your patience
GOD BLESS YOU
