With the advanced interpretation tools such as frequency sweeping and C-Scan, defective welds are usually detected as part of the guided wave inspection.

Deposits, such as sludge, can often be found in sporadic positions along pipelines. These deposits can result in accelerated localised corrosion promoted by different mechanisms, such as microbiologically-influenced corrosion (MIC). The pits created by such localized attack, as well as

The GUL Wavemaker® utilises guided wave modes that energise the entire volume of the pipe. Therefore it is an ideal non destructive testing method for the detection of random internal corrosion, especially when certain sections of the pipe are inaccessible.

Elbows are common pipe fittings which are susceptible to corrosion and erosion. Using the Unrolled Pipe display, defects at elbows can be detected and prioritised.

Results of a feasibility trial show that Guided Wave Testing is an efficient and effective tool to monitor offshore platform caissons, enabling the classification of problem areas before they become failures.
