OptiSonic: The ultrasonic inspection system for pipelines
Ultrasound suits best for non-destructive testing to determine the wall thickness of materials and to check the condition of welds when only one side is accessible for testing, e.g. internal inspection of metallic pipelines.
OptiSonic is a reliable ultrasonic inspection system for the measurement of the residual wall thickness and weld seams of metallic pipes using piezoelectric ultrasonic sensors for nominal pipe diameters of 400mm - 1200mm (16" - 48").
It provides operators neccessary information for condition assessment of the pipelines.
The sensor development and adaptation for the OptiSonic ultrasonic inspection systems is carried out by our engineers, customized for your application.
The analysis and the administration of the measurement data are done with a special evaluation software - OptiSonic View & Report.
OptiSonic is your decision-making support for rehabilitation or new installation of pipelines in various industrial applications, in the oil and gas sector, in energy supply, ...
Applications, examples:
- District heating pipes
- Loading lines for crude oil and liquid oil products
- Connecting pipes between platforms
- Seawater intakes for use with crude oil production
