1
00:00:06,709 --> 00:00:10,606
Building on an already strong
selection of pipeline products,

2
00:00:10,608 --> 00:00:14,898
Olympus NDT now offers a
Guided Wave inspection system

3
00:00:14,899 --> 00:00:17,758
for the detection of corrosion
and metal loss

4
00:00:17,759 --> 00:00:19,864
in piping and pipeline.

5
00:00:19,866 --> 00:00:23,358
Used as a screening tool,
the UltraWave LRT

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:27,603
significantly increases the
efficiency and productivity

7
00:00:27,605 --> 00:00:30,258
of corrosion management projects.

8
00:00:30,260 --> 00:00:33,659
Guided wave technology is a
nondestructive testing method

9
00:00:33,661 --> 00:00:37,816
that is widely applied to structural-
integrity monitoring programs

10
00:00:37,818 --> 00:00:41,504
in the oil, gas, and
chemical industries.

11
00:00:41,506 --> 00:00:44,954
With an inspection-range potential
of hundreds of meters,

12
00:00:44,956 --> 00:00:48,268
and 100% pipe-wall coverage,

13
00:00:48,270 --> 00:00:51,550
this technique increases
inspection productivity

14
00:00:51,551 --> 00:00:53,994
for conventional above ground pipe,

15
00:00:53,996 --> 00:00:56,414
and is also very useful
for the inspection

16
00:00:56,416 --> 00:00:59,418
of pipes with limited access.

17
00:00:59,419 --> 00:01:01,821
Combined with other NDT techniques,

18
00:01:01,823 --> 00:01:04,438
a guided wave system will
help to maximize

19
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:06,625
the efficiency of inspection projects,

20
00:01:06,626 --> 00:01:11,246
without compromising data quality.

21
00:01:11,248 --> 00:01:13,081
The Olympus UltraWave LRT system

22
00:01:13,083 --> 00:01:14,966
is a turnkey solution,

23
00:01:14,968 --> 00:01:17,291
which includes all the tools
and accessories

24
00:01:17,293 --> 00:01:20,914
that the user will need to
perform inspections.

25
00:01:20,916 --> 00:01:23,118
A complete standard kit comes packed

26
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:26,145
in three rolling cases to allow
for easy shipping

27
00:01:26,146 --> 00:01:28,976
and transportation on-site.

28
00:01:28,978 --> 00:01:31,531
The low profile collar
allows for inspection

29
00:01:31,533 --> 00:01:33,620
in limited access areas

30
00:01:33,621 --> 00:01:35,959
and ensures a constant
contact of the probe

31
00:01:35,961 --> 00:01:39,283
on the pipe during the inspection.

32
00:01:39,285 --> 00:01:42,261
The UltraWave LRT
user-friendly software

33
00:01:42,263 --> 00:01:45,301
provides the operator with a
step-by-step wizard

34
00:01:45,303 --> 00:01:47,779
for entering the inspection
parameters,

35
00:01:47,781 --> 00:01:50,791
including the identification
of each inspected line

36
00:01:50,793 --> 00:01:53,969
and its location,
as well as the pipe size,

37
00:01:53,971 --> 00:01:57,438
material, configuration,
and more.

38
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:00,666
During acquisition,
the probes propagate

39
00:02:00,668 --> 00:02:04,518
low frequency ultrasonic
guided waves along the structure,

40
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,118
ranging from 15 to 85 kHz.

41
00:02:08,119 --> 00:02:10,083
The UltraWave LRT software

42
00:02:10,084 --> 00:02:12,796
is equipped with a unique
F-scan color map

43
00:02:12,798 --> 00:02:15,171
that displays the entire
frequency range

44
00:02:15,173 --> 00:02:17,979
acquired over the
inspected pipe length.

45
00:02:17,981 --> 00:02:20,504
The operator can perform
active focusing

46
00:02:20,506 --> 00:02:22,931
on the suspected indication.

47
00:02:22,933 --> 00:02:25,308
Synthetic focusing is used to generate

48
00:02:25,310 --> 00:02:27,171
an unrolled pipe view.

49
00:02:27,173 --> 00:02:29,913
It is performed at one
selected frequency

50
00:02:29,914 --> 00:02:32,864
and shows the amplitude data
of each channel

51
00:02:32,866 --> 00:02:35,766
over the entire inspected zone.

52
00:02:35,768 --> 00:02:37,973
Information about the axial position

53
00:02:37,974 --> 00:02:42,798
and circumferential extent
of all defects is provided.

54
00:02:42,799 --> 00:02:45,484
Always keep in mind that a
guided wave system

55
00:02:45,486 --> 00:02:47,188
is a screening tool.

56
00:02:47,189 --> 00:02:50,006
Once an area of concern
has been identified,

57
00:02:50,008 --> 00:02:52,575
prove-up testing should
always be performed

58
00:02:52,576 --> 00:02:56,726
on the indication using
other NDT methods.

59
00:02:56,728 --> 00:02:58,786
A UT thickness gage

60
00:02:58,788 --> 00:03:00,651
or a Phased-Array flaw detector

61
00:03:00,653 --> 00:03:03,618
can be used to confirm the
exact remaining wall thickness

62
00:03:03,620 --> 00:03:08,293
of the pipe at the location
specified by the UltraWave LRT.

63
00:03:08,295 --> 00:03:12,563
Olympus NDT offers training
on the guided wave technique

64
00:03:12,565 --> 00:03:16,224
and inspection with the
UltraWave LRT system.

65
00:03:16,226 --> 00:03:18,075
On-site technical support

66
00:03:18,076 --> 00:03:20,636
is also offered around the globe.

67
00:03:20,638 --> 00:03:23,451
Olympus NDT is firmly
committed to providing

68
00:03:23,453 --> 00:03:25,838
the highest level of service
to its customer,

69
00:03:25,839 --> 00:03:28,358
no matter where they are in the world.
