Remote Visual Inspection (RVI) RVI is a cost-effective inspection technique used to capture real-time views and images from inside voids such as tubes, pipes, rotating machinery, engines, heatexhangers, tray towers, refractory-lined vessels and enclosed structures. RVI can be a perfect complementary technique to other NDT disciplines and is frequently used as the primary or initial inspection screening method to find localized corrosion and erosion.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Ultrasound technique has been used in non-destructive testing for almost 50 years and is used to find a variety of defects or non-conformities within almost any kind of solid material. The Krautkramer name has been synonymous with excellence in ultrasound during this period and is now part of our heritage at GE Inspection Technologies.
Radiographic Testing (RT) Radiography is one of the oldest, most reliable and proven nondestructive testing methods and offers unique benefits, such as revealing changes in thickness, internal and surface defects, large-area coverage and more. We offer conventional film radiography, digital technologies, including computed radiography and direct radiography, portable or stationary X-ray sources, 3D computed tomography and analytical X-ray.
Eddy Current Testing (ET) Software Solutions Eddy current is a fast, accurate and cost-effective electro-magnetic NDT method for detection of surface or near-surface flaws such as metal loss due to corrosion or erosion. It is commonly used for the inspection of heat exchanger tubing and piping, shell-side components such as support plates and rotating equipment such as turbine blades.
Installed Ultrasonic Sensors More Than Just "Wall Thickness Measurement" GE’s Rightrax™ LT and Rightrax HT systems are changing the way that critical corrosion data is measured and managed. This breakthrough technology helps increase safety and productivity while reducing overall inspection costs. The Rightrax system uses permanently-installed sensors that permit remote monitoring of restricted, hard-to-access and/or high-temperature areas up to 350°C (662°F).
