AMSYCO

AMSYCOs Automated Ultrasonic Testing capabilities using the latest generation of AUT technology.
Advanced Ultrasonic Testing (involving different configurations of transducers and receivers, or enhancement with electronics, robotics, computing or imaging) can provide far greater detail, multi-dimensional data, and different types of information, leading to inferences and interpretations not available from conventional NDT methods.

AMSYCO utilizes the latest technology of which equipment has over 170 systems deployed globally; and it utilizes the Phased Array technology since 2000.

Advantages of AUT
No radiation hazard, no chemicals, no licensing; Very short inspection cycle time for higher production rate; Better detection and sizing accuracy, leading to lower rejection rate; Use of Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) acceptance criteria with measurement of vertical height and depth of indications, reducing rejection rate; Real-time analysis from smart output display; Date and inspection reports on electronic support; and Better control of welding process, also giving lower rejection rate.

The Equipment

AMSYCO

Our Phased Array systems are used in the largest onshore and offshore pipeline construction projects throughout the world.

Our system allows inspections to comply with the ASTM E-1961 code, and by inference, with the API 1104 standard. It also allows compliance with the DNV-OS-F101 standard, the offshore AUT code.
Our equipment fits all configurations of circumferential welds: any type of weld profiles: CRC-Evans, J-bevel, V-bevel, double V, X, etc. typical pipe wall thickness: from 6 mm (0.25 in.) to more than 35 mm (1.4 in.) (options are available for thicker pipes ) typical pipe diameter: from 6 in. to more than 56 in. (options are available for smaller diameters) pipe material: from standard carbon-steel to more complex configurations like Inconel, cladded pipe, seamless pipes with wall-thickness variation, etc.

The inspection cycle time is between 2 min and 6 min depending on the type of weld, pipe diameter, location, and environment.

AMSYCO

AMSYCOs Phased Array and Time-of-Flight Diffraction capabilities using the most sophisticated technology ever available in the globe.

Advantages

Speed, flexibility and reliability. Less operator dependent. Cost-efficient and doesnt require consumables. High speed electronic scanning without moving parts. Improved inspection capabilities through software control of beam characteristics. Inspection of multiple angles with single, electronically controlled probe. Greater flexibility for inspection of complex geometries. Inspections can be tailored to the weld profile, vessel geometry, and other inspection requirements. Combines scanning of ToFD and pulse-echo techniques. Can be performed in parallel with other activities. Shows true depth image of defects which is much easier to interpret than a waveform. Data can be saved, analyzed and re-displayed as required. No safety hazards.

RELIABILITY
Fast data acquisition and evaluation on a powerful, user friendly analysis software Tomoview . Testing can be done in parallel to other construction activities like fabrication and welding. No project delay for RT outstanding due to lower isotope activity, supply of isotopes, permit regulations, and source movement regulations. Precise sizing of discontinuity of length, depth and height.

COST SAVINGS
No cost on films and other expensive consumables required as compared to conventional RT.

SAFETY
No harmful radiation. No special safety requirements.
