Inspection and non-destructive testing
Mistras is an international company specializing in Non Destructive Testing and Inspection. Besides the standard NDT techniques (Magnetic, Penetrant, Ultrasonic and Radiographic examination), we specialize in advanced techniques to detect and quantify various forms of corrosion.
GUL IMProGuided Wave (GUL Impro) is a low frequency ultrasonic technique which is specially developed for rapid mapping of both internal and external corrosion in pipes. The ultrasonic energy is conducted in a longitudinal direction and reflects on irregularities such as corrosion..
Time of Flight Diffraction(TOFD) is an ultrasonic technique which is applied for measuring the residual wall thickness of a weld. For example in case of corrosion and or erosion of the welds. The measured accuracy of the residual wall thickness is better than 0.5 mm.
Phased Array(PA) is an ultrasonic technique for measuring surfaces of 4 – 7 cm. It displays wall thickness measurements at a much greater speed and reliability than performed by conventional ultrasonic wall thickness measurements.
TANKPAC is an acoustic emission technique which provides information about the condition of a tank bottom by measuring active corrosion whilst the tank remains fully operational.
LSI (Large Structure Inspection) is a system using ultrasonic technique, developed for fast mapping (1m² in 4 minutes) of localized corrosion on carbon steel tanks and pipelines. Applying LSI large areas can be scanned at the same time, with adjustable resolution.
