ABI SCAN
A & B Scan Enhancement Imaging
AUT
Automated Ultrasonic Testing
Applus+ TOFD is a UT technique that relies on detection of diffracted waves to find defects. The system
operates in a pitch & catch configuration using a transmitting probe and a receiving probe. It is well
suited for the rapid inspection of girth welds on pipes and vessels and provides real time data. Our ToFD
is a preferred inspection method in the search for preferential weld root erosion and corrosion. When
the beam comes in contact with the tip of a flaw or a crack, diffracted energy is cast in all directions.
Measuring the time of flight of the diffracted beams enables accurate and reliable flaw detection and
sizing even if the crack is off-oriented to the initial beam direction.

The Applus+ Phased Array Ultrasonic Technique (PAUT) concept for defect measurement during weld
inspections represents a significant step forward over conventional technologies. Phased Array tech-
nology involves the use of multiple ultrasonic elements and the application of electronic time delays to
the individual elements. Ideal for a wide range of weld inspection applications, phased array technology
enables the highest levels of defect detection and at the same time minimizes the time needed for
inspections.

CHIME & CUPS
Creeping Head Inspection Method & Corrosion Under Pipe Support
Applus+ CHIME and CUPS are used for detecting corrosion and pitting under clamps and pipe supports
where it is not directly feasible to be inspected by normal inspection method. CHIME is based on the
through thickness technique and is good for detecting gradual thickness degradation and insensitive to
small pitting. It can be carried out on pipes. CUPS is based on reflection principles and is good for the
detection of small and large corrosion pitting but insensitive for graduation degradation of wall thick-
ness. It can be conducted externally on annular plates and the whole area can be covered by swivelling
the probe.
BENEFITS
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Applus+ LRUT is for detecting corrosion and metal loss in pipe work. It is a pulse-echo system, aimed at
testing large volumes of material from a single test point. The collar clamped around the pipe produces
a 360° sound wave moving axially down the pipe using the pipe itself to guide the wave.
Applus+ LRUT is primarily a screening tool and does not provide a direct measurement of pipe wall thick-
ness. The technique is sensitive to a combination of the depth and circumferential extend of any metal
loss on both the outside and inside surfaces of the pipe. A signal response is produced where the
cross-section is reduced or changes character at a weld or other pipe feature.

LoRUS
Long Range Ultrasonic to detect corrosion In Tank Annular Plates
Hidden corrosion on difficult to reach places such as walls and bottoms of storage tanks causes serious
problems. Early detection is often impossible or very expensive, as the object concerned will have to be
taken out of service. Applus+ Long Rang Ultrasonic (LoRUS) was developed in order to be able to screen
the annular plates using a manipulator. This is a fast and cost-effective way of defecting on-stream
hidden corrosion in time.
BENEFITS
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Applus+ provides surface Eddy Current testing for surface and sub-surface crack detection for struc-
tural and material integrity assessments using state of the art Eddy Current method such as Electro
Magnetic Array (EMA) and Alternate Current Field Measurement (ACFM). The Lizard® M8 System and
Mentor EM Eddy Current System provides highly accurate, repeatable and uncompromising perfor-
mances for detecting and sizing surface and sub-surface breaking in metals. These systems deploy non

MFL
Magnetic Flux Leakage Method for Tank Floor Testing
Applus+ provides Magnetic Flux Leakage Inspection (MFL) for the oil and gas, petrochemical and power
industries. We use FloormapVS2i which is the most reliable version of MFL corrosion detection, sizing &
mapping floor scanner. The MFL technology is similar to Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) but without
the ink or magnetic particle. The component is magnetised to a level at which the presence of a signifi-
cant local reduction in material thickness causes sufficient distortion of the internal magnetic field to
allow flux lines to break the test surface at the site of the discontinuity.

CRT
Computed Radiography Testing
Applus+ CRT is particularly useful to monitor the condition of pipelines, valves and fittings for corrosion,
erosion, mechanical wear, etc. It allows the comparison of images between two time separated investi-
gations so that the relative rate of corrosion or erosion can be determined. We can monitor almost any
kinds of valve and fitting in an acceptable exposure time as our CRT is equipped with an x-ray machine,

RVI
Remote Visual Inspection
Applus+ have a large variety of Ex certified camera systems for environment Zone 1 and the latest pan
and rotate Ex push rod camera. Our systems have the latest technology; i.e. automatic focus, auto
upright camera, waterproof up to 11 bar, operating through 45° and 90° bends.
Applus can provide several systems to cover all access points and pipe diameters/lengths with the best
possible images. We also have systems that are waterproof and perfect for caisson inspection before
and after cleaning and a high powered zoom camera for the inspection of tanks (sphere), vessels, reac-
tors etc.
Applus+ provides tube inspection using Eddy Current Testing(ECT), Eddy Current Array(ECA), Near Field
Testing (NFT), Remote Field Testing (RFT), and Internal Rotary Inspection System(IRIS). ECT is capable
of detecting internal and external pitting, erosion, certain types of cracks, baffle wear, holes, and me-
chanical damage. NFT is suited to the detection of internal corrosion, erosion or pitting on the inside of
carbon steel tubing. RFT is ideally used to inspect ferromagnetic tubes such as carbon steel and ferritic
stainless steel. IRIS offers a wide range of detectable discontinuities such as internal, external erosion,
baffle wear, pitting, corrosion and wear.
