QSR - The revolution of quantitative short range scanning begins.
Guided Ultrasonics Ltd are currently working on an innovative testing system QSR® to quantitatively measure corrosion at supports.QSR stands for “Quantitative Short Range” scanning.

QSR® - Simple Support
Quantitative Measurement of Corrosion Under Support
QSR® automatically provides a quantitative measure of the average wall thickness, as well as the minimum remaining wall thickness.
QSR® also automatically measures pipe diameter and pipe wall thickness around the pipe circumference from a single location in a fraction of a second.
QSR® - Practical Performance Test
Ex-service 12 inch pipe with the hidden Corrosion Under Pipe Support (CUPS) type defect was scanned by the QSR1® prototype in order to obtain the profile of the area.
QSR1® - Test Results
The scanned defect was then visually examined and the QSR1® scan was compared with the reference laser scan of the area.
Very good agreement was achieved between the laser scan of the defected area (red line) and the QSR1® measurements (blue line).
