Corrosion-resistant alloys (CRAs) for the control of corrosion in oil and
gas components present many ultrasonic inspection challenges due to beam scattering,
splitting, refraction, absorption and, in some cases, the complex geometry of
the components.
This webinar emphasizes the latest advances in
phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) techniques dedicated to
corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) inspections and highlight their advantages and
limitations based on on-site results. The use of Dual Matrix Array™ (DMA) and
Dual Linear Array™ (DLA) probes and full matrix capture/total focusing method
(FMC/TFM) techniques are also discussed.
Attendees will come away with an understanding of:
- the use of CRAs for the control of corrosion in oil and gas components
- how correct CRAs are selected based on laboratory testing and field experience
- challenges of UT inspections of CRAs due to beam scattering, splitting, refraction, and attenuation
