PD Scan Inspection
Enhancing Equipment Integrity Through Advanced Non-Destructive Testing
PD Scan Inspection is a cutting-edge non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to assess the integrity of pressure vessels, pipelines, and other critical industrial components without causing damage to the equipment. It plays a vital role in preventive maintenance and reliability assurance across sectors such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, and power generation.
What is PD Scan?
PD (Phased Array and TOFD) Scan combines two high-resolution ultrasonic testing technologies Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) and Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD). These techniques provide comprehensive data for detecting internal flaws such as cracks, corrosion, weld defects, and thickness loss in metallic structures.
PD Scan is highly accurate, repeatable, and capable of delivering detailed imaging of subsurface anomalies. It is often used during plant turnarounds, pipeline inspections, and critical weld evaluations.
Key Benefits of PD Scan Inspection
-
Non-Intrusive Testing
PD Scan allows inspection without the need to cut, open, or damage equipment, which reduces downtime and operational disruption. -
High Accuracy & Sensitivity
Capable of detecting small defects at various depths, even in complex geometries or thick materials. -
Real-Time Imaging
Provides real-time, high-resolution digital images that help inspectors and engineers make quick and accurate decisions. -
Data Archiving & Reporting
Inspection results can be stored digitally, allowing for better traceability, trending, and long-term integrity management. -
Compliance with International Standards
PD Scan techniques meet global standards such as ASME, API, and ISO, making them widely accepted in regulated industries.
Applications of PD Scan
-
Pressure vessel weld inspections
-
Corrosion mapping on pipelines and tanks
-
Flange face and nozzle area analysis
-
In-service defect monitoring
-
Fitness-for-service assessments
