The PipeBeetle is a versatile scanning platform that uses an encoded roller chain to fasten to pipes between 3.5" to 24" in diameter. It allows the use of different probe types for inspecting pipes, nozzles, and flanges. Switching between equipment is tedious, and conventional UT equipment cannot scan obstructed areas like inside flange faces. The PipeBeetle navigates obstructions and finds flaws in previously inaccessible areas. It provides accurate, repeatable scans and adapts rapidly between inspection sites. Eclipse Scientific offers software for designing inspections and managing scan data.

Boiler tube welds require a rapid volumetric inspection method. Traditionally, radiography (RT) is used, but this technology has several drawbacks. RT is insensitive to mis-oriented planar defects, it does not provide immediate feedback to the welders, and is disruptive to other activities. Mostly, safety regulations are getting more and more severe worldwide drastically restricting the use of radiography.
Nondestructive Testing (NDT) has evolved from being a “necessary evil” to being an essential source of competitive advantage. The right technique not only helps control the quality of the final product, but also provides valuable process control feedback to improve productivity, reduce cost, and increase the
efficiency of the welder. This is especially important in high-volume, continuous processing lines where a few minutes of bad production can result in significant losses.
In the last decade, powerful Ultrasonic EMAT technology has come of age with tremendous success, becoming the technique of choice for many applications.

PipeWIZARD details: http://bit.ly/1woKWdN
The Girth Welds used to connect pipe across country or offshore for the transportation of petroleum must be inspected during construction to ensure safe operation. In order to prevent inspection from bottlenecking the construction process, the inspection method must be rapid, repeatable and meet applicable code requirements.
By using fully automatic zone discrimination systems deployed on and offshore, Phased Array ultrasound is increasingly used to meet this need. In this application note, read about the advantages of Phased Array versus Radiography, and the benefits of inspections with the PipeWIZARD.

Friction Stir Weld Inspection Application SolutionZetec Inc.
Friction Stir Weld (FSW) inspections can be challenging and time consuming. It typically requires 3 beam angles for flaws parallel to the weld center line (WCL). Standard solutions use multiple probes, and require each probe to be aligned and calibrated, which can be a long process. Some flaw types (transverse, skewed) are not reliably detected with standard probe design. Additionally, the surface condition and flashing can prevent adequate coverage of the weld area with a contact solution.
Zetec offers the optimal solution for this type of inspection challenge, delivering a reliable and efficient inspection solution
that includes rapid setup, quick calibration and fast inspection speed.
In the fall of 2002, Innerspec introduced and patented an Ultrasonic Testing (UT) inspection system for surface inspection of mill rolls. This novel approach was designed to overcome known limitations of Eddy Current (EC) systems.
In 2014, Whemco Steel Castings Inc., a leader in mill roll manufacturing and service, approached Innerspec Technologies to expand the original Rollmate design with more capabilities.
When challenged to develop a new generation of mill roll inspection systems, Innerspec embraced the task and sought to design a comprehensive solution using the best NDT techniques available for the task.
The system is fully designed and manufactured in the United States, and serviced and supported by Innerspec offices in the US, Mexico, Europe and China.
Fischer X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) measuring devices are continuously optimized to achieve higher precision in shorter
measurement times. That is why we have developed our new digital pulse processor DPP+ completely in-house.
The DPP+ is one of the central elements of an X-ray fluorescence spectromete.
Abstract: Leak detection in gas pipelines has always been a great challenge for engineers, which prompts us to develop much better ways to inspect pipelines efficiently. Saving time and money at the same time are priorities of the pipeline inspection. There have been numerous models around the world but performance varies on a wider range. Most of the inspection systems have limited applicability, are neither reliable nor robust, while others depend on the user experience. This project work consists of developing an ‘In Pipe Inspection Robot’ that move inside a pipeline and find the position of leakage. The need of a leak detecting system, types of leak detecting system are discussed in brief. Leak detection is done using the principle of pressure gradient around the leakage area and The robot chassis is incorporated with the electronic components for the movement of robot inside the pipeline.
In this article from the January 2015 World Pipelines edition, Andre Lamarre, Business Development Manager - Power Generation and Pipeline Markets at Olympus NDT, writes about trusted UT inspection methods and new technique developments used to contribute to pipeline integrity.

1. ESPIPEBEETLE Small Diameter Inspection Solution
The PipeBeetle is an encoded, non-magnetic scanning platform. This versatile scanner allows the use of a wide variety of different
probes to suit many job applications including flange, pipe and nozzle applications. Accurate scans are achieved with a specially
designedrollerchainthatallowstheBeetletoeasilyfastentoanydiameterpipefrom3.5"to24".
Rationale
Benefit
Options
Switching between scanning equipment is a tedious process
and rarely does one scanner work for multiple applications
such as pipe, nozzles and flanges. Flanges are notoriously
difficult to scan due to obstructions caused by clamping
mechanisms and bolts that hold flange faces together. In
addition, areas of the ID, ring joints and seal faces are virtually
impossibletoscanusingconventionalUTequipment.
The PipeBeetle is capable of finding flaws and corrosion in
previously inaccessible areas of the flange by incorporating a
fastening system that allows the scanner to navigate clear of
typical obstructions on any diameter of pipe. The scanner
provides manual encoded scans that are accurate and
repeatable for periodic examinations. The design enables
technicians to rapidly adapt it to different pipe, nozzle or flange
dimensions, inspect, and then quickly move to the next area.
The stainless steel roller chain enables the use of the scanner
on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials and can handle any
pipe size from 3.5" to 24" or the chain can be removed for flat
platescanning.
Eclipse Scientific offers two software solutions for your pipe,
nozzle and flange inspection requirements: ESBeamTool allows
you to easily design and simulate an inspection and generates
comprehensive documentation of your inspection technique,
while ESInspectionBank provides effective process
management and secure control of scan data, from acquisition
toanalysisreporting.
