GW LRUT Guided Wave Long Range Ultrasonic testing is a rapid screening test method for integrity assessment of pipelines, non-piggable buried, encased piping, vertical or inaccessible piping (e.g. overhead pipe racks) or epoxy coated pipelines to locate areas of potential degradation or engineering concerns and gross discontinuities for targeted assessment and inspection. While conventional NDT test methods provide localized inspection, underneath or in the vicinity of the sensors, LRUT is able to test 100% -ntps:mats.com aulservcesiadvanced-nat-soluionsigw.rut-guded-wave-tong-range-ulrasoniotesting 2a22212019 Long range ulvasonie esting ( LRUT ) | LMATS HOME —¥ AboutLMATS — Client Assistant» Services. ‘Resource Centre ~ Careers > Contact Us Guided Wave LRUT is used to inspect 100% of pipe circumference along the pipe length from a single location. Low frequency (15-85kHz) torsional or longitudinal guided waves are generated into the pipe body (360 degrees all around the pipe circumference) on both sides of the transducer assembly collar. These ultrasonic waves propagate in the axial direction of the pipe until the entire energy is attenuated or dissipated. When these guided waves intercepts areas of change in cross section such as butt welds, pipe supports, elbows, flanges or gross discontinuities such as severe corrosion, erosion, pitting clusters, etc; they reflect laminar waves back to the sensors at the location of wave initiation (Transducer assembly Collar). Multiple frequency signals are acquired simultaneously and analysed. The time-of- flight for each reflection and its dominant frequency is analysed to determine its location from the sensor. The quadrants determine the feature's circumferential position on the pipe wall. The amplitude of the signal determines the significance of the defect in relative loss of cross section (LCS), The minimum LCS (loss of cross sectional area) that can be currently confidently detected is 3% of the total cross sectional area of the pipe under examination. One of the examples of representative cluster is shown in the following image. -ntps:mats.com aulservcesiadvanced-nat-soluionsigw.rut-guded-wave-tong-range-ulrasoniotesting sina
