Long Range (LRUT)/ Guided Wave
The aim of the inspection is to test long lengths of pipe rapidly from a single test point with 100% coverage of the pipe wall and to identify areas of corrosion.
Long range ultrasonic testing provides rapid screening for corrosion and erosion in pipelines.
Long range ultrasonic testing (LRUT), also known as guided wave ultrasonic testing and consider fast and cost-effective method for inspecting long lengths of pipes.
Hundreds of meters of pipe can be screened in one day from one single location. And this technique can inspect 100% of the pipe wall. also can be performed on piping that is in operation, insulated and buried, and in areas that are difficult to access such as those at high elevations so This method will save time and money that would otherwise be spent on excavation, insulation removal and scaffolding
