Webinar to focus on guided wave inspection

A SGS SA - Industrial Services product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team May 6, 2009

SGS has announced a free webinar that will educate attendees on the guided wave inspection technique - also known as long-range ultrasonic testing.

Three 60-minute sessions - to be presented in English - have been scheduled for 13 May, 14 May and 26 May 2009.

Jos de Visser, technology specialist guided wave at SGS, will share his expertise and experience on guided wave inspection.

He will give an overview of this new inspection technique and practical tips on how this fits into piping integrity programmes.

Attendees will learn more about the applications and technical limitations of guided wave, about the most efficient inspection approach and about the need for follow-up inspections.

De Visser will present two practical case studies during the seminar session where guided wave inspection has been applied.

The focal points of these case studies are corrosion under insulation (CUI) and road crossings.

Guided wave inspection is a relatively new inspection technology using low-frequency guided ultrasound waves travelling along a pipe.

Guided Wave technology has several advantages as it screens 100 per cent of the volume of the piping inspected for metal loss features such as corrosion and erosion.

These advantages disappear when the technology is not correctly used and therefore the aim of the seminar is to enable attendees to make better choices and have the right expectations.
