Gridless Erosion/Corrosion
|
Baker Testing
offers Gridless Erosion/Corrosion testing using an automated
system that provides:
- exceptional
accuracy
- 100% coverage
- digitally archived
results
- 3-dimensional
plan views
- cross-sectional
views
Our automated
erosion/corrosion system employs a CCD camera to track the coordinates
of the ultrasonic transducer. Using these coordinates, the time
consuming application of painting or drawing a grid system on
the component is no longer necessary.
With this automated
system, 100% coverage may be obtained that is traceable to
the exact scan location. The result is greater accuracy and
repeatability.

These ultrasonic images demonstrate gridless erosion corrosion. At the top is a plan view; a cross-sectional view beneath. They show thin areas in both views of a 180 degree circumference of a welded 6-inch diameter, 1/2-inch wall carbon steel pipe section. The data was obtained with Baker Testing Services gridless erosion/corrosion data collection and analysis system. Total set-up, acquisition, and analysis time was 15 minutes.

To measure changes
in component thickness, ultrasonic dual and single element transducers
are used. Areas of wall thinning are digitally recorded for immediate
evaluation or may be stored for viewing at a later time.
Three-dimensional
views including plan and cross-sectional are also available, providing
visual images of both the affected and unaffected areas. Statistical
data such as minimum and maximum wall thickness values, and rates of
wall loss may also be obtained.
