RMS2 – Technical Specification

• The smallest defect, (2 mm diameter x 5 mm deep) was consistently detected using a 2 mm x 2 mm scanning resolution on a 35 mm thick plate when using a 5 MHz transducer with a 50 mm focal length.


The RMS2 unit technical performance is illustrated on the following sample reports


The machined slots are from 1 mm loss to 18 mm loss and the holes are of varying diameters but the same 5 mm depth.

• Typical speeds for different resolutions are:• 300 mm per second scanning at

1 mm x 1 mm resolution • 730 mm per second scanning at

2 mm x 2 mm resolution

• Amplitude based analysis is able to define 0.004” loss (0.1 mm)

• The 3D reporting feature ensures hydrogen blistering and similar type defects can be readily identified rather than just assumed as is the case with just 2D C-scan imaging.


Typical applications of the RMS2 • Corrosion mapping of:

• Above and below ground storage tank floors, shells and roofs

• Pressure vessels including identification of hydrogen blistering

• Process pipe work• Offshore loading /unloading jetty lines once

the unit has been applied by rope access crew

• Ships hulls and similar marine vessels

• Fracture detection in pressure vessels including de-lamination checks

RMS2 – Applications

USER BENEFITS - STORAGE TANKS

• An RMS2 inspection of a tank shell or roof provides a detailed C scan report and improved coverage of the area targeted for inspection.

• Eliminating the need to use scaffolding or rope access to perform manual UT thickness gauging inspection

• Maximise the ability to detect corrosion by taking 600 mm wide scan from bottom to top

• Permanent hard and soft copy record of the results which can be retrieved at any future date.


• Rapid data collection and real time analysis of the inspection.

• Computer generated report in lieu of totally manual reports.

• Reduced safety risks by minimising the use of scaffolding, rope access and tank roof walk boards.
