SGS SA - Industrial Services product story

Mar 18, 2009
SGS's Internal Rotary Inspection System (IRIS) is a non-destructive ultrasonic testing method.
This technology is generally used for the measurement of wall thinning and pitting as a result of corrosion and erosion of small bore pipes.
IRIS uses ultrasonic technology, which makes it possible to inspect a range of materials.
The IRIS probe is inserted into a tube that is flooded with water and is then removed as the data is displayed and recorded.
The ultrasonic beam allows detection of metal loss from both the inside and the outside of the tube wall.
The IRIS probe is claimed to produce accurate and detailed results.
The data can be safely used in integrity assessment studies and remaining lifetime calculations.
This non-destructive testing method can be used for inspection of heat exchanger and steam generator tubes and pipes in the chemical, petrochemical and nuclear energy industries.
IRIS technology can also be used to detect and quantify pitting and damaged areas as well as a general reduction in wall thickness, so that the condition of the entire pipe cluster can be charted.
SGS experts inspect ferrous and non-ferrous materials for erosion, corrosion and pitting up to 30m, defining the origin of the defect.
SGS's non-destructive testing services are integrated with its asset integrity management solutions and its material testing laboratories.
The services also fit into its supply-chain services.
SGS also offers non-destructive testing training courses.
