This video details the application of Guided Wave Ultrasonic Testing (GWUT) for pipeline integrity assessments. The process utilizes a circumferential collar equipped with multiple transducers to screen pipelines for potential issues. By employing Long Range Ultrasonic Testing (LRUT) technology, the method allows for the identification of corrosion or erosion without the need for removing insulation or protective coatings. This capability supports proactive maintenance planning by providing reliable data across a comprehensive fleet of inspection systems. TechCorr leverages these advanced NDE techniques to assist in the examination of assets during anomaly digs and the validation of in-line inspection data.
