During the API Summit, we spoke with Ph.D Brian Pavlakovic from Guided Ultrasonics LTD, a company at the cutting edge of ultrasonic inspection technology. The team at Guided Ultrasonics is committed to providing solutions that revolutionize long-range scanning and monitoring of pipelines.
Advanced Solutions in Pipeline Monitoring
Guided Ultrasonics specializes in long-range scanning, a technique that sends waves down pipes to detect issues remotely. Their technology focuses on identifying critical areas that require attention, which can be tens of meters down the pipe.
Introducing the Monitoring Solution
At the API Summit, Guided Ultrasonics presented their latest innovation: a monitoring solution that applies the same physics of sending waves but is designed to remain attached to the pipe. This system allows continuous data sampling and uploading, enabling real-time monitoring and trend analysis of corrosion rates and pipeline conditions.
Quantitative Method for Detailed Analysis
Ph.D Pavlakovic also showcased their quantitative method, a more detailed follow-up to initial screenings. This axial sensor rotates around the pipe, sending waves and picking up defects. It’s particularly effective for inspecting wall penetrations, supports, and deck penetrations, providing critical information on wall thickness and safety.
Future Goals: Easing Inspection Processes
Looking forward to 2024, Guided Ultrasonics aims to simplify the training process for inspectors and convert inspection data into valuable information for clients. Their goal is to empower inspectors to provide actionable insights and solutions.
