API 2201 provides detailed guidelines for safely conducting the hot tapping operations on machineries in petrochemical industries. To expand or modify piping systems in the petrochemical industry, new connections to existing pipelines have to be made. Earlier, to make such connections in piping systems, the whole...
API 1104, Standard for Welding Pipelines & Related Facilities, provides guidelines for the gas and arc welding of butt, and fillets in carbon or low-alloy steel piping used in the compression, pumping & transmission of petrochemical and gas. It is applicable to new constructions and...
Lasers can be used to generate and measure ultrasonic waves in materials. Laser based NDT methods came to acceptance with an increase in the use of composite materials and sandwich structures in industries. These types of structures required high speed and large area inspection for...
What is Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) Testing Method in NDT ? Time of flight diffraction is a reliable non destructive testing method mainly used to find flaws in the welds. Like all other ultrasonic testing methods, TOFD uses ultrasonic pulse to locate the irregularities. What makes...
What is Neutron Radiography Testing Neutron radiography technology is also called Neutron Imaging, Neutron Tomography or else N-Ray Radiography. This is a powerful NDT method because of the neutron’s properties. It allows imaging of materials which are hydrogenous like oil, plastic, water, rubber, explosives etc, which...
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technique in NDT is used to diagnose and evaluate the quality of reinforced concrete. Due to the complicated properties of reinforced concrete, usual non destructive testing methods like ultrasonic testing and infrared ray testing cannot be used in the most testing site...
Regular monitoring and maintenance of industrial machines and equipment can save money and time lost due to catastrophic failures. Machine failures do not happen overnight, there will be clear indications in machines when their deterioration starts and affects the normal working conditions. If these indications are...
Guided wave testing is an advanced NDT technology used to remotely analyze assets for flaws and corrosion over a long distance. Direct contact with the assets is not necessary to conduct guided wave testing. Why Guided Wave Testing? Piping systems often have very unorthodox shapes and locations which makes...
API 571 – Damage Mechanism is a recognized certification for inspectors, developed and published by American Petroleum Institute (API). API 571 gives and in-depth understanding of over 60 different damage mechanisms that can occur to process equipment in refineries. Damage mechanism review is a process that...
The API 936 Refractory inspection certification is an industry recognized certification for inspectors who are trained in refractory systems. Certified refractory inspectors have a good knowledge of inspection, installation, testing and repair of refractory linings. Why do you need an API certification? American Petroleum Institute (API) is...
