EXCERPT
Corrosion detection under pipe supports is a recurrent problem in petrochemical and other process industries, with limited inspection alternatives due to the lack of immediate access to the corroded area. Long-Range UT (LRUT) has been used for years to inspect inaccessible areas but the large blind zone, limited resolution, and complex interpretation makes it difficult to field for this application. EMAT-generated Medium-Range UT (MRUT) addresses these limitations and provides a robust and proven solution to the problem.
