The typical operating cycles of coke drums create thermal stresses that eventually lead to fatigue cracks called ‘elephant skin’ (ES) in both the inside diameter (ID) and outside diameter (OD) of coke drums. Traditionally, these have been inspected through a multi-stage process from initial dye penetrant inspection, visual assessment of ES crack depth, baseline ultrasonic thickness (UT) gauging, exploratory grinding to chase crack tip/s of select locations, confirmatory dye penetrant inspection, and UT gauging to determine the remaining wall thickness, to calculate the crack depth. This traditional process is not only slow and a time-consuming chain of activities, but also leads to subjectivity in the crack depth assessment, and a challenge to coordinate different groups in a turn-around. An Eddy Current Array (ECA) inspection crawler was designed and built to solve these issues.

In the oil and gas industry, solid metal equipment such as pipelines, pressure vessels, heat exchangers and valves are susceptible to surface cracks and discontinuities attributed to cyclic loading, process environment and severe operating conditions. These anomalies affect the safety, structural functionality, reliability, integrity and life cycle of the equipment. They could lead to catastrophic incidents if not detected timely, evaluated, monitored and properly repaired.

Digital Generation of Eddy Current Testing (ECT) for Inspection of Surface and Near-Surface Defects

Product Number: MECC23-20114-SG

In oil & gas industry, solid metal equipment such as pipelines, pressure vessels, heat exchangers and valves are susceptible to surface and sub-surface cracks and discontinuities attributed to cyclic loading and severe operating conditions. These anomalies affect the safety, structural functionality, reliability, integrity and life cycle of the equipment and if not detected timely, they could lead to catastrophic incidents. Consequently, this gave rise to the importance of different Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods and their abilities to detect and characterize surface discontinuity providing useful information to the structural integrity assessment.

Effective SCC Inspection Of In-Situ Oil Sands Pipelines Using Advanced Eddy Current Array Technology

Product Number: 51322-17981-SG

ECA technologies are not very well known in the oil and gas industry and are still undeservedly suffering from the bad reputation of traditional eddy current testing from twenty years ago. Eddy current techniques are often humorously compared to "black magic" in the sense that the results are difficult to understand, the probes are complicated to use, and only eddy current gurus can use it efficiently. However, ECA has evolved significantly over the past 15 years and is now much easier and more intuitive to use.
