The hidden dangers of corrosion under insulation (CUI) span the oil and gas industry from upstream operations to midstream infrastructure and downstream applications, including the production of LNG.

Inspection + Testing
Remote Visual Inspection
Drones are increasingly being used in Nondestructive Testing (NDT) because they offer a lot of benefits, especially for inspecting large or hard-to-reach structures and confined spaces. Access to Difficult Areas: Imagine trying to inspect a tall bridge or a big wind turbine. It’s not only hard but...
NDT Testing Environments
Nondestructive Testing (NDT) Inspection plugs operate in various industrial environments where testing equipment needs to periodically monitor the condition of equipment like pipes and pipelines, pressure vessels like boilers and tanks, heat exchangers and more without causing any damage. NDT...
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
How sound is used to test materials Sound waves are really useful for testing materials in ways that are safe and non-destructive. Here’s how it works: Sending Sound Waves: First, you send sound waves through the material you want to test. You can use a special device that creates high-frequency...
NDE: Probability of Detection
Probability of detection (POD) evaluation is a commonly used method of quantifying the reliability of an inspection. Inspections in practice have multiple factors which affect the detectability of flaws (e.g. human factors, uncertainty in the geometry of the part under test, or...
