Ultrasonic Inspection Services
Petrosol specialists are equipped and prepared to conduct Visual and Ultrasonic Testing, enabling them to proactively detect signs of corrosion or suboptimal operating conditions and help prolong the lifespan of your tank. We advise scheduling an inspection every 3 to 5 years. Whether you require a routine inspection, evaluation of structural issues, or an assessment of your tank’s service life, Petrosol can meet all your inspection needs.
Petrosol offers Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT), which utilizes high-frequency ultrasonic waves to measure material thickness and detect metal loss due to corrosion or erosion, as well as identify internal defects.
With Petrosol UTT, we can assess remaining metal thickness to estimate the asset's expected lifespan, develop repair procedures, or determine if the asset can be repurposed for different storage uses.
Benefits of Ultrasonic Thickness Testing
- Provides immediate and precise results
- Measures material thickness accurately
- Can be performed with access to just one surface
- Assesses acceptance or rejection based on reference codes or standards
We ensure that all field inspection data, engineering analysis, and evaluations are compiled into comprehensive reports and delivered promptly. Our findings are thoroughly documented with field notes, instrumentation readings, and photographs. All inspections are conducted in accordance with AWWA, NFPA, FM, and API-12B specifications.
