GE’s Inspection Technologies business has released its USM Vision, an innovative, ultrasonic (UT) weld inspection system that allows non-UT trained specialists to gather reliable and accurate pipe weld inspection data for subsequent remote assessment by a suitably qualified UT expert.
The company says that this permits UT inspection to be used in situations conventionally requiring radiography, removing constraints such as extended film processing times, radiation screening and waste chemicals disposal. As a result, it facilitates the migration of skills from radiography to UT, reducing the possibility of bottlenecks, providing significant increases in productivity and improving operational health and safety.
The new inspection solution can operate in phased array and TOFD mode and is supplied with its operating software and GE’s rhythm analysis software, which allows inspection data to be reviewed and shared, reports to be generated, and inspection results to be archived for tracking or further analysis.
