In a complete nondestructive test solution, phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) and time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) play mutually exclusive roles. For defects detection, PAUT and TOFD employ different techniques even though the instrument consist same equipment. Still, it is not about differences but combined use that delivers an optimum and accurate result. Together, these two techniques increase the probability of detection without significantly increasing the amount

In recent years, industries have felt the importance and need for digital asset integrity systems. An Asset Integrity Maintenance is a process that ensures that an asset (power, oil and gas, refinery, chemical and petrochemical process plants) can perform its function effectively and efficiently with increasing safety and profits. To ensure that an asset will function over its lifetime, well-run maintenance strategies ensure that the people, systems, processes, and resources

For any industry, equipment is the muscle crunching for mass production, and engineers are the backbone. The expert combination of man and machine keeps the industry alive for decades. When an industry ages, high-end equipment faces functional degradation such as corrosion , material degradation, failures and various major or minor mishaps.It is crucial to maintain the quality of industrial assets for quantitative productions. Industry experts at TCR Advanced are enthusiasts

The operations of industrial assets without interruption are possible through routine maintenance regulated by periodic non-destructive tests. In industry, most accidents occur due to leakage in components, causing loss and destruction. Helium Leak Test is a profound method of detecting leaks compared with pneumatic and hydro tests. It provides accurate test results in less time, and the chances of errors are minimal compared to other leak testing methods. The helium Leak Te

Chemical testing and analysis are essential for understanding elements and materials' quality composition in goods, industrial processes, and production. Effective chemical testing requires specialist industry knowledge and competence in using the most appropriate methodology. Yet, let's understand the top 10 Chemical testing used in the industrial sector - 10) Coating thickness - Elcometer (also known as paint meters) measure the thickness of dry films. Due to the import

TCR Advanced's innovation - ARTiS™ , an automated robotic crawler, is a revolutionary inspection system for reformer tubes. This system is an aid for holistic tube inspection that includes creep strain measurement, bowing assessment, thickness measurement and Ultrasonic testing. Reformer Tubes are an integral part of many industries such as oil & gas, petroleum, fertilizers, etc. The failure of reformer tubes can lead to massive loss. Thus, ARTiS is an advanced non-destructiv

Mechanical testing is a vital part of the manufacturing process to determine the material properties and verify the safety of the final product. It plays a pivotal role in ensuring cost-effectiveness and technological advancement. It helps design and manufacturing teams validate the product and improve quality. The categorisation of appropriate test methods is done by analysing the product's specifications. Engineers often inspect product samples assembling with Finite Elemen

Each non-destructive tests are unique assessment techniques that help an industrial asset restrict undue flaws that hamper the churning of machinery. It is also crucial that these tests are carried out precisely for accurate and unbiased results that cater to the industry's betterment. For a successful NDT services, engineers should keep four integral concepts in mind. Knowledge Both the NDT services taker and service provider need to know the limitations and advantages of ND

Choose the best rated NDT service - helium leak test for authentic results and safety assurance. What is the Helium Leak Test ? With the continuous mass production in industries, heavy machinery often face ruptures that the naked eye cannot see. These ruptures obstruct the continuity forming a leakage in the containers that directly impedes the quality of production as well as creates an unsafe environment for people working around. To solve this dilemma, we at TCR Advanced o

Every equipment in the plant performs different functions, contains various service fluids, operate at diverse pressure and temperature condition and having varying implication on plant operation. Failure of each equipment has different consequences. Thus every equipment asks for distinctive evaluation for the reliable and safe operation of the plant. There are numerous cases where the plant is following every scheduled inspection/maintenance activity, but still faces the con

Hydrogen generation units in refineries, fertilizer and chemical industries are critical equipment for further row material processing. The hydrogen is manufactured in tubular reactors – referred as catalytic tubes or main tubes or reformer tubes. The proper functioning of these units is vital to achieving continuous production. Unscheduled breakdown of these units can bring down the plant to complete halt with a high degree of temperature swings in many associated units. An

Tubes operating in Crude Heating service in one of the refineries were removed on sampling basis after 30 years of service. The sampling was done for the purpose of remaining life assessment, based on Part 10B of API579 / ASME FFS-1. The procedures in Part 10B require creep life calculations based on two special parameters relating to in-service ageing of material – referred to as Ä cd and Ä sr . The material of constructions of these sample were: SA106 Grade B, A 200 Grade

Fitness-for-service assessment is a multi-disciplinary engineering approach that is used to determine if the equipment is fit to continue operation for some desired future period. - American Society of Mechanical Engineers Often times, major equipment in process plant are exposed to corrosive environments and/or elevated temperatures and may possess sustained damage, defects or flaws. These equipment cost exponentially high and thus many company’s want to predict if the

Analyzing failures gives an opportunity to improve whereas analyzing a situation gives an opportunity to prevent failures. Similarly, in any industry, there are many failures that can be prevented just by analyzing the present condition or even detect a problem at an early stage to reduce the impact of a failure. When we talk about Process Industry, the cost of any Equipment or Asset can be exceedingly high; any casualty related to this equipment can cause huge cost implica

“Those who cannot remember the past are going to repeat it” - Dr Peter McClean Millar Major assets in any industry are the heart and soul of that industry that requires continuous care and maintenance. Often times, an industry purchases an asset and start utilizing it with a casual approach. This casual approach can lead to huge production loss, unplanned shutdowns and also impact the safety of people working in that plant. So the big question is: “Is it possible to IMPROVE
