ADVANCED ULTRASONIC INSPECTION

(TOFD & PHASED ARRAY UT)
SERVICES

Phased Array Ultrasonic Inspection

Ultrasonic phased arrays are a novel technique for generating, receiving and imaging ultrasound.
Instead of a single transducer and beam, phased arrays use multiple ultrasonic elements and
Phased Array electronic time delays to create beams by constructive and destructive interference. As such,
phased arrays offer significant technical advantages for weld testing and plant monitoring over
conventional ultrasonic as the phased array beams can be steered, scanned, swept and focused
electronically from a fixed probe position. Beam steering permits the selected beam angles to be
optimized ultrasonically by orienting or focussing them perpendicular to the predicted discontinuities,
for example lack of fusion in automated weld inspections.

Advantages of Ultrasonic Phased Arrays:

 Phased arrays allow real-time control of three important ultrasonic probe parameters

 Focal distance: continuously and dynamically adjustable

Ad van ced UT  Beam angle: continuously and dynamically adjustable
Solutions  Focal spot size: dynamically adjustable

 Extra benefit

 Multiplexing allows fast displacement of ultrasonic beam within probe

 Main benefits of ultrasonic phased arrays

 High-speed inspection using single-axis scans instead of conventional raster scan

 Near-optimal focal length and focal spot for various areas of complex parts or thick
components
 Small, simple probe assembly with multiple beams from a single probe
 Easy-to-install, one-axis scanning systems
 Better detection in austenitic materials and dissimilar metal (DM) welds
 Alternative to Radiographic imaging.

ADVANCED ULTRASONIC INSPECTION

(TOFD & PHASED ARRAY UT)
SERVICES

TOFD (Time of Flight Diffraction)

TOFD and its principles are well documented. Utilizing diffracted energy in the detection of flaws,
the technique is less reliant on flaw orientation and morphology than standard pulse echo
techniques, leading to improved sizing and probability of defect detection (POD). Additionally,
computerized electronic data capture and storage, in conjunction with scanning manipulators
enable rapid scanning speeds to be achieved TOFD has now been accepted as an alternative to
Radiography in Pre-Service Inspections with standards such as ASME Section V Appendix III ,
and its use in pipe weld and thick walled pressure vessel fabrication is now common place.

Due to it’s sensitivity and sizing accuracy, TOFD is also an excellent tool for in-service material
and flaw monitoring. Engineers who are monitoring root erosion, stress corrosion cracking, vessel
cladding, Hydrogen Attack, Weld and Steam Chest cracks for example, are all now utilizing TOFD
as part of an ongoing inspection regime.

METALLURGICAL INSPECTON
SERVICES

This form of non-destructive testing is used to establish cause and/or extent of damage and/or
ageing mechanisms in metallic structures from micrographs of grain structure, and is often
implemented alongside primary NDT activities. Metallurgical Microstructure Replicas can provide
important defect assessment (cause/growth) or remnant life data to engineers responsible for
plant management.

Replication is designated by ASTM E 1351 as the Standard Practice for Production and
Evaluation of Field Metallographic Replicas and the procedure is performed by engineers and
trained technicians using portable polishing equipment following modified laboratory procedures
for the preparation of metallographic samples.

Integrity Engineering has a very experienced team that have a diverse knowledge of the different
materials associated with supporting projects in the Power; Petrochemical; Pharmaceutical and
Chemical sectors globally. We understand the importance of preplanning and educating our
clients on site requirements with regards to the use of chemicals, grinding, polishing and often

PLANT INSPECTION MANAGEMENT

SERVICES

Non Destructive Testing is a key function of QA/QC on new build or in-service outage, 'turn-
around', and shutdown activities, and is called upon by insurance and statutory regulations as a
requisite for plant integrity assurance.

The planning and management of inspection activities, combined with a professional NDT support
service, helps to minimise the intrusion of inspection activities on an outage or turnaround „strip &
re-build‟ programme, while ensuring all work is carried out and reported efficiently, to the relevant
standards.

Integrity NDT personnel have over 35 years of experience in planning, managing and carrying out
NDT on all aspects of power and process plant both in the UK and overseas. In addition to ad-hoc
consultancy, we currently provide this service annually to three Combined Cycle Gas Turbine
power plants owned in part or whole by International Power around the globe.

Utilising “QUARTZSite” our bespoke inspection management software tool (see software)…from
planning stages, through to the provision of professional „electronic‟ inspection and summary

QUARTZ INSPECTION MANAGEMENT

SOFTWARE

This software has been developed to assist engineers in the efficient planning and maintenance
of inspection records over the lifetime of a plant / pipe system.

It is of particular relevance to engineers responsible for systems carrying volatile substances, or

operating at high pressures and temperatures…though this versatile software is applicable to pre
and in-service asset management in most environments.

The efficient planning of inspections and the maintenance of inspection records over the lifetime
of industrial plant and particularly pipe systems is reliant on detailed system drawings, with unique
identification assigned to critical items such as welds, hangers, and bends on pipes for example…

From available plant drawings and site surveys, Quartz links scaled 3D CAD pipework modelling,
through ‘live’ on screen tags, to a bespoke database of inspection records and a document
management system with the ability to attach original documentation or image files via url or
stand-alone.

QUARTZ is available in stand-alone or fully networked versions.

ROPE ACCESS SERVICES

Integrity NDT has qualified personnel accredited by Industrial Rope Access Trade Association
(IRATA).

Rope access is not Integrity NDT core business today, but instead a method of access to perform an
inspection, engineering or maintenance task. Integrity NDT currently provide inspection and rope
access services to a wide variety of clients at various offshore and onshore locations.

Rope access for inspections can have significant advantages:

 Access provision can be a significant proportion of projects costs. Rope Access techniques can
replace traditional scaffold or platform solutions and offer clients significant savings.

 A single point of contact for access and inspection teams - the client can realise project co-
ordination and time efficiencies as Integrity NDT provide and manage both services.

 Rope systems are quick to install and dismantle. By removing operational and time constraints,
rope access services are often able to reduce the time window required to undertake work.
R o p e Ac c e s s
Solutions  Rope access is statistically safer than scaffolding, and the use of IRATA qualified technicians
and procedures further benefits project health and safety.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

Integrity NDT partner - European Union funded, under 7th Framework

Programme,

CreepImage: Development of long term Creep Monitoring Image Based

Technique.

Please see project website for details:

www.creepimage.eu

The CreepImage project will develop a digital image technique for long term
measurement and monitoring of creep deformation of an engineering
structure/component under harsh conditions (high temperature, irradiation etc.) where
EU “FP7 direct sensor attachment and human access are difficult or dangerous. A high definition
Creep Image” digital camera equipped with a suitable lens (macro, telescopic or telecentric lens) will
Research & be used to capture speckle plate images of a grid on the component surface at various
Development stages, and digital image correlation (DIC) will be used to calculate the deformation
Project associated with creep behaviour of the component.

The procedure is expected to be as follows: (1) Physically produce a speckle plate grid
on the surface of the structure. It serves as the information carrier from which
deformation can be calculated by DIC. (2) Capture digital images of the grid at different
stages. A reference plate with a stable known coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE)
will be placed adjacent to the grid such that it can be imaged simultaneously. This
permits automatic calibration without the need to keep the camera on site all the time.
(3) DIC software will be used to calculate the overall deformation. Creep strain is
obtained by subtracting the thermal deformation.

The project work will be a laboratory based demonstration to validate the proposed
techniques and to investigate the measurement capability (accuracy, repeatability etc.).
In addition, site trials on power plant and other potential application areas include
evaporators in a power plant.
