1. FLANGE SOLUTION SUITE Raised Face, RTJ and Grayloc
Flange Inspection Solution
Eclipse Scientific has created a complete solution package for the UT inspection of flanges. The combination of the
ESFlangeScanner, the ESPipeBeetle and the ESBoltScanner allows the user to inspect all components on Raised Face, RTJ and
Grayloc. With the addition of ESBeamTool, ESInspectionBank and specialized training courses, Eclipse can offer the total solution
packageforflangeinspections.
RaisedFaceFlange
RingTypeJoint(RTJ)Flange
GraylocFlange
The initial screening of a raised face flange utilizes the
FlangeScanner, enabling fast simultaneous scanning of
both flange seal faces in the set. If corrosion or erosion is
shown, then full evaluation of the raised face and internal
bore, from the cone of the suspect flange, may be
accomplished using the PipeBeetle. This surface permits a
fullscanoftheraisedfacewithnoobstructions.
The Ring Type Joint flange, (RTJ), has a complex internal
geometry created by the configuration of the seal ring
groove, with or without a raised face. This requires a
combination of the FlangeScanner to examine the internal
bore and the PipeBeetle to examine the seal face. This
combination enables the flange to be completely
examinedforbothinitialscreeningandfinalevaluation.
The initial screening and final assessment of the Grayloc
flange is accomplished using the PipeBeetle. Due to access
limitations imposed by the clamp connector of the Grayloc
seal, there is no other surface available for examination
access.TocompletethesetofhubsontheGraylocseal,the
PipeBeetle is simply moved to the second hub and the
encoder is changed to inverse. This maintains the scanner
relationship to product flow. These two scans provide a
completeexaminationoftheGrayLocflange.

2. BoltandWeldInspection
BeamTool
InspectionBank
Training
All three flanges have additional components that
require regular UT inspections. Bolts, like any other
structural component, are susceptible to defects such
as corrosion and cracking. The BoltScanner provides
clearimagesofboltthreadconditionwithoutremoving
themfromtheflange.ThePipeBeetleisused to inspect
the welds joining the flange to the pipe. Both scanners
are encoded, which allows repeatable inspections for
monitoringknowndefects.
BeamTool allows users to easily design and simulate an
inspection and generate comprehensive
documentation about their inspection plan. The
complex geometry experienced when working on
Raised Face, RTJ and Grayloc flanges demands that
operators have a clear understanding of where the
soundishitting,andBeamToolprovidesthatinvaluable
side view. The inclusion of introduced targets at
selected positions to mimic varied attack mechanisms
means that the operator will be able to anticipate
signal sources and will also be able to verify time of
flighttohelpanalyzeandreportinspectionresults.
This inspection management system provides all the
tools necessary to plan and complete a successful
inspection project. From project planning to data
management, InspectionBank keeps complex projects
organized and under control. The client/server
architecture of the InspectionBank system allows for
easy access to your inspection project data anywhere
there is an internet connection, whether in your office
orinthefield.
Eclipse offers a series of in house training courses that
cover everything from basic operation of Eclipse
products to advanced scanning procedures and
techniques.
