The Ferroscope 308 RFT
System was used recently on the carbon steel test bundle at
Chevron, Richmond Research Centre.
It found all the critical
flaws and sized all flaws detected within the required 15% and
within 2” of actual location.
|
|
Mark Seiwald of Chevron
advised Dave Russell that the certification is good for 3 years,
and allows him, and the Ferroscope, to perform RFT inspection
work at Chevron sites worldwide. |

Sept 2, 2006 - Russell and PPIC successfully
complete 10km inspection in Taiwan |
|
|
|
Russell NDE Systems
Inc and the Pressure Pipe
Inspection Company have completed the inspection of just
over 10 km of concrete pressure pipe in Taiwan. The customer
was impressed enough to award a further 5 km of work to the
team. |
|
Concrete pressure
pipes carry large volumes of raw water from reservoirs to water
treatment plants. When they fail, the failure is often
catastrophic, and the water can cause a great deal of damage
before it can be turned off. In this instance, the customer had
experienced some prior failures due to broken re-enforcing
wires, and were looking for a reliable method of detecting any
more “distressed” pipes. The PPIC patented technique can detect
breaks from as little as one broken strand. We are looking
forward to an expanded working relationship with PPIC and
customers in Taiwan and China |

Sept 2, 2006 - UT inspection work for AMEC and
CH2MHill |
|
|
|
The ultrasonic inspection work for
AMEC and CH2MHill is well under way. Steel truss bridges in
Alberta are subject to flexural loading and fatigue cracking in
certain members, so the Alberta Transportation Division performs
a regular inspection of the trusses. |
|
|
|
An angle-beam flaw detection
technique is used to detect the flaws. Some of the bridges are over 200’
above the river level, so the technician must not have a fear of
heights! |
