PipeRay
- Industrial x-ray
In industrial environments, measuring the condition of various pipes is a significant expense and a recurring problem — especially thicker pipes operating under high pressure or high temperature, which typically also require insulation. During mandatory inspections, depressurizing the system requires shutdowns, resulting in production losses. The PipeRay procedure addresses these issues.
With this patented measurement technology, the internal wall thickness and erosion of pipes can be measured without dismantling the pipes or their insulation. The measurements are performed using a remotely controlled robotic arm, which not only increases the safety of maintenance personnel and speeds up execution, but also allows the robot to memorize the inspection route so it can be repeated automatically later.
