    11 TechCorr SRUT-FAC

    TechCorr offers a Short Range Guided Wave UT screening tool called SRUT that can inspect difficult to access locations using low frequency sound waves. SRUT can detect corrosion, cracks, and other defects under supports, clamps, and repairs or in tank chime and pipe interfaces. It works by flooding the material with sound waves and measuring reflections using a near field probe. SRUT produces digital images and maps defects but can't measure wall thickness. It is effective for inspections in limited space through up to 1 inch of material and 1/8 inch of coating when surface conditions allow ultrasonic propagation.

    Short Range Guided Wave UT-SRUT

    Tech Corr offers “Short Range Guided Wave UT-SRUT” a unique ultrasonic
    screening tool designed to inspect difficult to access locations such as:

     Underneath Saddle Supports


     Under clamps
     Under composite repairs
     The annular plate of above ground storage tanks (In Service)
     Pipe to soil interface areas
     Pipe to Cement interfaces

    How It Works – Short-Range Guided Wave is a technique which uses low frequency
    sound waves to flood the wall thickness of a pipe or a plate, and then reflect back at
    interfaces such as cracking or corrosion/pitting. A standard ½” near field probe
    allows for corrosion and defect inspection in limited space and close proximity
    situations. This technique is to be used as a screening tool only as remaining wall
    thickness measurements cannot be achieved. However, reflection distance can be
    measured with precise accuracy. Using a focalized probe, the ultrasonic beam
    coverage within a material is around 24” and all can be accomplished through 1/8”
    or less of coating.

    By using different probe designs it is possible to inspect material thickness up to 1”


    thick.

    Example of the Ultrasonic propagation of the SRUT in a plate.


    1
    TechCorr uses the latest and most advanced SRUT system in the industry which allows
    to fully encode the inspection from a reference point. This allows to obtain digital
    images that can be used to create a base line for future inspections.

    The short range guided wave technique uses a modified B-Scan graph but displays
    information in terms of “Plan View” using surface distance calculations. This
    technology can detect, image, record amplitude, size, and record X-Y location of
    corrosion and /or various defects.

    Conditions to apply SRUT?

    Condition 1: Surface condition under the probe shall be free on corrosion and heavy
    coatings to allow a proper UT propagation.

    Condition 2: The maximum surface temperature is 150F

    Condition 3: SRUT can be applied from 1 1/2” (Special contour probe) up to flat
    surfaces.

    2
    Examples of SRUT applications.

     Tank Chime Inspection (In Service). The tank chime shall be at least 1.5” to
    allow a proper probe placement.

     Pipe to Concrete Interface (Puddle Pipes).
