SoniTech’s NDT pipe inspection service uses ultrasonic localized guided wave testing to test pipes in mission critical facilities for corrosion buildup; pitting, wall thinning, and velocity erosion; water trapped in a dry system; air pockets in a wet system; and ice plugs. The process, according to the company, offers more useful and comprehensive data than what is attainable from traditional ultrasound, allows for inspections without downtime, is NFPA 25 approved for Section 14.2 Fire Sprinkler Pipe obstruction inspection, and includes a highly detailed report with data from every scan point.
Common systems covered include fire sprinkler pipe, including wet/dry/preaction; process water, including condenser, chiller, and hydronic; and other metallic pipe including compressed air.
