RTD LoRUS (Long Range Ultrasonics) Mechanical LoRUS examination

Hidden corrosion on difficult to reach places such as walls and bottoms of storage tankscause serious problems in petro chemical plants. Early detection is often impossible orvery expensive as the asset concerned will have to be taken out of service.Our Solution Applus RTD has developed the LoRUS method in order to be able to screen the annularplates using a manipulator, allowing for detection of hidden corrosion while the asset ison-stream. The ultrasonic signals are projected according to the probe directions andindications from the object under examination are color coded and presented in a 2D topview. All four probes are moved automatically across the examination surface by themanipulator. Performance details include:

Benefits The storage tank does not need to be offline or taken out of service. Hidden corrosioncan be detected on stream saving time, money and resulting in overall efficiency.
