Detect Surface Cracks with Pinpoint Precision Utilizing Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM)

Originally developed for inspection of fatigue cracking, Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM) is an advanced technique for detecting surface cracks and pinpointing the location, length and depth of the defect. This rapid, one-pass ET method does not require extensive cleaning of the work piece or electrical contact.

Unlike Dye Penetrant (PT) and Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), our ACFM works through paint and coatings and in a wide range of temperatures. Results are automatically recorded and accepted by certification authorities.

Applying Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) for Sharper Detection of Off-angle Cracks

Our Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) provides sharper detection capability for off-angle cracks, and is capable of displaying multiple presentations simultaneously. PA applies computer-controlled excitation to individual elements in a multi-element probe. By varying the timing of the excitation, the sound beam can be swept through a range of angles. The shape of the beam may also be modified to a specific focal distance or spot.

Providing Rapid Volumetric Screening Assessments on Metallic Pipework with Guided Wave Testing (GWT)

Advanced Guided Wave inspection services provide a rapid volumetric screening assessment of metallic pipework, typically facilitating inspection of difficult-to-access locations. GWT is often used to identify areas of cross-sectional change associated with corrosion under insulation, touch point corrosion, soil-to-air interfaces, wall penetrations, road-crossings, unpiggable system lengths, internal corrosion/erosion, and pipe lengths with restricted access without disruption of service.

GWT reduces peripheral inspection costs by providing rapid, full-coverage pipe screening. GWT can often be accomplished with minimal surface preparation and insulation removal, where large areas of piping can be evaluated in a short amount of time from relatively few test locations.

Receive Data for Fitness for Service Calculations in a Fraction of the Time Utilizing Automated Ultrasonics Testing (AUT)

TEAM utilizes a variety of technologies to provide complete automated inspection capabilities. Technologies employed include TOFD, Pulse Echo, Corrosion Mapping and Phased Array. This non-destructive inspection process enables us to screen piping and vessels, such as those found in the refining and petrochemical industries.

The user is provided with a true representation of the test material, which speeds the process of defect interpretation. All data is digitally recorded and scans are exactly repeatable for long-term monitoring purposes. AUT is used extensively in corrosion monitoring and to provide the client with the data they need for fitness for service calculations in a fraction of the time it would take to do manually.

Enhance Asset Evaluation with Computed Radiography Testing (CRT)

Computed Radiography Testing (CRT) produces digital images on reusable phosphorous plates with lower exposure requirements. This process translates to smaller exclusionary zones and decreased exposure times in your facilities. The original archived image cannot be altered, thus maintaining the integrity of the raw data. Without altering the archived image, the electronic image-viewing software can be sharpened, filtered and zoomed for analysis by the technician or customer to enhance evaluation.

Detect Flaws in Nonferrous Materials with Eddy Current Testing (ECT)

Our standard Eddy Current Testing (ECT) is ideal for nonferrous materials such as heat exchanger tubes, condensers, boilers, tubing and aircraft surfaces. TEAM’s ECT uses electromagnetic induction to detect flaws in conductive materials, displaying the presence of very small cracks, pits, dents and general thinning.

Receive Highly Sensitive Wall Thickness Variation Insight with Remote Field Testing (RFT)

TEAM’s Remote Field Testing (RFT) is utilized to inspect ferromagnetic tubing. Extremely sensitive to wall thickness variation with near equal sensitivity to inside and outside surfaces, RFT does not have the “skin effect” difficulties that conventional eddy currents have when inspecting ferromagnetic materials.

Utilizing Magnetic Fields to Inspect Large Ferromagnetic Steel Surfaces

Our MFL inspection is an ideal way to inspect large ferromagnetic steel surfaces such as storage tank floors. When a magnetic field is passed through the steel, flux leakage caused by pitting and corrosion on the underside of the floor is detected by MFL sensors in the scanning unit and displayed for the operator. MFL is also used on ferromagnetic heat exchanger tubing and process piping as a screening technique for wall loss.
