Vessel Scanning
The corrosion screening and monitoring of vessels and drums with a wall thickness up to 30mm can be inspected with the SLOFEC™ Scanners from the inside or the outside. Full vessel monitoring packages including comprehensive reporting systems are also offered. Applied during process conditions as a fast corrosion screening technique, the SLOFEC Vessel Scanning supports ideally as an NII (Non Intrusive Inspection) technology.
The aims of vessel inspection are:
- Meeting the authorities’ health and safety requirements
- Identification of corrosion area and monitoring of corrosional growth
- Determination of vessel integrity
- Verification of previous inspection results
- Supporting Non Intrusive Inspection (NII) packages or strategies
Innospection’s SLOFEC™ technique for vessel inspection offers the following advantages:
- Fast screening of larger areas within a short time
- Low surface preparations and limited cleaning prior to inspection
- High sensitivity in detecting internal and external corrosional defects (individual pitting, microbiological corrosion, carbon dioxide corrosion, etc)
- Inspection over a wide range of wall thicknesses
- Inspection through coatings and paintings
- Inspection over a wide range of temperatures
- Distinguishing between defects and laminations or inclusions
Innospection’s capabilities in vessel inspection using the SLOFEC™ technique are:
- Experienced with vessel wall thickness range up to 30mm
- Experienced with vessel coating thickness up to 5mm
- Experienced with vessel temperature up to 120 deg C
- Experienced with inspecting stainless steel and Monel-clad vessels
- Able to inspect horizontal and vertical vessels both internally and externally
- Able to inspect different vessel materials (carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex, super duplex, monel, etc)
- Able to provide online “Real Time” inspection analysis including wall loss severity classifications
- Separate reporting capability on both internal and external conditions
- Defect assessment, integrity and monitoring support
- Special cracking detection tools are available
