THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING & INDUSTRIAL QUALITY
SOHAN ROY S.K.
CEO, Aries Group, UAEGROUP OF COMPANIES
NDT is a highly valuable technique that does not permanently alter the article
being inspected; it saves both time and money in product evaluation,
troubleshooting and research. Being a high end technique there are very few
events in the world which promote NDT. Marine BizTV, the Global Maritime TV
channel in association with Aries Marine, the leading surveyors and NDT firm
have joined hands to organize an International Conference on NDT where
professionals from all sectors, including Industrial, Marine and Offshore, will
converge at the most happening maritime hub of the world- Dubai. This
technical forum is aimed to promote effective communication and information
exchange amongst the key professionals of the industry who play a key role in
the development and advancement of NDT. I am also happy that the R&D wing
of our NDT division has come up with the initiative to provide all intelligent
support to this event. The conference would be valuable to anyone involved with
maintaining integrity of a facility; In addition to that, the associated exhibition
will also allow world class NDT vendors to show their products and services to the
conference attendees.
NDT level 4 will itself be a revolution in the field of Non Destructive Testing where
like minds will meet to discuss and exchange their ideas and share new
innovations. Apart from being the valuable store house of knowledge, NDT Level
4 is all set to provide the highest branding and marketing opportunities. The
event will be witnessed by million of viewers across the world live on
www.live.marinebiztv.com
I also wish to take this opportunity to thank all our well wishers, supporters and
sponsors who have made this event possible. We believe you will keep providing
us with your unrelenting support to all our endeavors. Let this event be another
feather, a revolution in the NDT world.

“The American Welding Society sincerely congratulates Marine BizTV for
organizing the inaugural International Conference on Non Destructive Testing –
NDT Level 4, to be held in October 10-11, 2010 at Dubai. As a Sponsoring
Organization for this event, AWS recognizes the critical importance of accurate
and skillfully conducted testing procedures to ensure the quality and fitness-for-
service of marine structures.
This important conference and its associated exposition are certain to attract NDT
experts from many nations to exchange ideas and experiences related to testing
in the field. Marine engineers, architects and others should benefit greatly from
conference papers covering NDT trends, practices, technologies, safety codes,
optical methods, personnel training and certification, and more.
As a major force in the international oil industry, the emirate of Dubai is an ideal
location for a summit on nondestructive testing technology. This global city and
business hub will draw a large audience of key personnel in the NDT field.
All the attendees at this prestigious event in Dubai are also invited to attend the
FABTECH exposition, including the AWS Welding Show, set for November 2-4,
2010, in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. We hope you can join us in Atlanta to see the
latest in welding, testing and metal fabricating equipment.
In the meantime, AWS salutes the organizers of the International Conference on
Non Destructive Testing – NDT Level 4. We are most pleased to be a part of this
important event.

STRESS CORROSION CRACKING ASSESSMENT IN PIPELINE
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is generally considered to be the most complex of all
corrosion types. SCC is classified as a catastrophic form of corrosion, as the detection
of such fine cracks can be very difficult and the damage not easily predicted. It is very
difficult because we are looking for cracks at level of crystal grain size. In our region,
thousands kilometers long pipelines carry all kinds of fluids, anything from water to
crude oil. It is estimated that over 70% of pipelines are buried, and therefore they are
subjected to environmental abuse, external damage, coating delamination, soil
movements/instability, and attack by external stress corrosion cracking, it can also
be an environmental disaster when a petroleum or chemical carrying pipeline leaks
or bursts.
How operation safety of pipelines are secured? This question is normally raised
when the pipeline is put in operation and before leak can happen.
In this study, the detection and assessment of external stress corrosion cracking
attack in a buried cross-town pipeline using advanced NDT technology is addressed.
It is to avoid serious leak or rupture and to ensure reliability of the Pipeline.
The first stage inspection its done utilizing Electro Magnetic Acoustic Transducer
(EMAT) technology to scan the entire 50 Km long pipeline. It was a rapid inspection
to locate the affected spools and to record all the indications in the pipeline. The
EMAT results revealed many indications with a linear reflection and maybe caused
by crack anomaly.
The second stage investigation its done to verify the types of these indications and
to identify the severity like external stress corrosion cracking, surface colonies of
cracking, and through wall stress corrosion cracking utilizing Phased Array
Ultrasonic Technology. The type, depth and height of indications caused by this
corrosion damage can accurately be identified using this technology.
Phased Array Ultrasonic Technology also helps our assessment to differentiate
between surface and sub-surface cracks and lead to proper evaluations and
recommendations.
Finally, the study showed high correlations in inspection results of the EMAT &
Phased Array technologies, and are recommended to be implemented as
complementary methods to ensure safe operation of the pipelines for oil and
petrochemicals industries.
PHASED ARRAYS INSPECTION FOR CORROSION IN CRITICAL ENGINEERING
STRUCTURES
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing-PAUT has proven to be capable of solving
complicated corrosion inspection problems facing Oil/Gas, and Petrochemicals
industries.
The advancement in inspection technology of Phased Array comes from the
advancement of the software development implemented in steering and
manipulating the ultrasonic beam without moving the probe head of the system.
Due to this capability of the system, the operators are always finding new
applications for corrosion damage inspections.
The PAUT can easy replace the conventional UT for measuring metal wall thickness
due to corrosion damage. It takes minutes to map large areas for remaining wall
thickness using this technique compared to Conventional UT method, in addition to
the capability in storing the inspection data.
Another main advantage of PAUT is its ability to determine the length, orientation,
and position of cracks due to corrosion damages penetrating from surfaces deep
into the material.
Recently, PAUT had been utilized to examine the extent of damage on carbon steel
caused by Microbiologically Induced Corrosion. The root cause of this damage
mechanism is now well documented and normally results in pitting corrosion. This
type of damage is anticipated to exist, also, in stainless steel as long as there is
stagnant water and microorganisms.
It is expected that many corrosion inspection challenges can be met using PAUT. The
study is summarized into the following points:
Limitations of current NDT methods for corrosion inspection.
Capabilities of PA inspection technique in solving several inspection
challenges like locating corrosion at hidden surfaces of complex structure.
Further investigation, utilizing PAUT, is needed to examine the localized
crack propagation from the surface into the bulk materials, of stainless
steel, caused by Microbiological-Induced Corrosion.

STRESS CORROSION CRACKING ASSESSMENT IN PIPELINE
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is generally considered to be the most complex of all
corrosion types. SCC is classified as a catastrophic form of corrosion, as the detection
of such fine cracks can be very difficult and the damage not easily predicted. It is very
difficult because we are looking for cracks at level of crystal grain size. In our region,
thousands kilometers long pipelines carry all kinds of fluids, anything from water to
crude oil. It is estimated that over 70% of pipelines are buried, and therefore they are
subjected to environmental abuse, external damage, coating delamination, soil
movements/instability, and attack by external stress corrosion cracking, it can also
be an environmental disaster when a petroleum or chemical carrying pipeline leaks
or bursts.
How operation safety of pipelines are secured? This question is normally raised
when the pipeline is put in operation and before leak can happen.
In this study, the detection and assessment of external stress corrosion cracking
attack in a buried cross-town pipeline using advanced NDT technology is addressed.
It is to avoid serious leak or rupture and to ensure reliability of the Pipeline.
The first stage inspection its done utilizing Electro Magnetic Acoustic Transducer
(EMAT) technology to scan the entire 50 Km long pipeline. It was a rapid inspection
to locate the affected spools and to record all the indications in the pipeline. The
EMAT results revealed many indications with a linear reflection and maybe caused
by crack anomaly.
The second stage investigation its done to verify the types of these indications and
to identify the severity like external stress corrosion cracking, surface colonies of
cracking, and through wall stress corrosion cracking utilizing Phased Array
Ultrasonic Technology. The type, depth and height of indications caused by this
corrosion damage can accurately be identified using this technology.
Phased Array Ultrasonic Technology also helps our assessment to differentiate
between surface and sub-surface cracks and lead to proper evaluations and
recommendations.
Finally, the study showed high correlations in inspection results of the EMAT &
Phased Array technologies, and are recommended to be implemented as
complementary methods to ensure safe operation of the pipelines for oil and
petrochemicals industries.
PHASED ARRAYS INSPECTION FOR CORROSION IN CRITICAL ENGINEERING
STRUCTURES
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing-PAUT has proven to be capable of solving
complicated corrosion inspection problems facing Oil/Gas, and Petrochemicals
industries.
The advancement in inspection technology of Phased Array comes from the
advancement of the software development implemented in steering and
manipulating the ultrasonic beam without moving the probe head of the system.
Due to this capability of the system, the operators are always finding new
applications for corrosion damage inspections.
The PAUT can easy replace the conventional UT for measuring metal wall thickness
due to corrosion damage. It takes minutes to map large areas for remaining wall
thickness using this technique compared to Conventional UT method, in addition to
the capability in storing the inspection data.
Another main advantage of PAUT is its ability to determine the length, orientation,
and position of cracks due to corrosion damages penetrating from surfaces deep
into the material.
Recently, PAUT had been utilized to examine the extent of damage on carbon steel
caused by Microbiologically Induced Corrosion. The root cause of this damage
mechanism is now well documented and normally results in pitting corrosion. This
type of damage is anticipated to exist, also, in stainless steel as long as there is
stagnant water and microorganisms.
It is expected that many corrosion inspection challenges can be met using PAUT. The
study is summarized into the following points:

CORROSION MONITORING INSTALLED SENSORS
Traditional corrosion monitoring options requiring thickness or automated
ultrasonic measurements are expensive due to the cost of gaining access to the pipe
for measurement, often requiring digging up the pipe, coating removal, sensor
placement, etc. GE inspection Technologies solution provides the ability to
continuously monitor corrosion at a fraction of the cost while providing frequent
and reliable information that significantly improves decision making.
GE's Rightrax LT & HT system is changing the way that critical erosion/corrosion data
is measured and managed. This breakthrough technology helps increase safety and
productivity while reducing overall inspection costs. GE inspection Technologies
system uses permanently installed sensors that permit remote monitoring of
restricted, hard-to-access and/or temperature areas up to 120°C (248°F) for LT & up
to 350°C (662°F) for FT. Once fitted, the system provides continuous real-time access
to corrosion data via direct & acquired wall thickness data, eliminating the need to
erect scaffolding, remove insulation or shut down plant systems. Online monitoring
also reduces labor-intensive traditional inspection routines by providing data that
can be used for proactive maintenance planning

TURNKEY PMI INSPECTION TECHNOLOGY USING HAND HELD X-RAY
FLUORESCENCE ALLOY ANALYZER
For over forty years Positive Material Identification (PMI) of alloys has been
performed using stand alone, portable, and more recently, hand-held x-ray
fluorescence (HH-XRF) spectrometers. These small but powerful alloy analyzers
have, over the years, contributed to the petrochemical industry's ability to verify
correct alloy grades in critical use applications. Today, given the record of serious
accidents and deaths in our industry, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) is conducting on site inspections to assure we are following
best practices in PMI testing. To complement this effort, Thermo Scientific NITON
has developed a new detector technology for handheld XRF (HXRF) using a large
area silicon drift detector. This new technology extends the limits of detection (LOD)
and the element range. The LOD's are now an order of magnitude better while the
element range now includes elements previously considered too light for HXRF
instruments that maintained a standard air path sample to detector configuration
(only possible with a helium purged or vacuum pumped system). Such elements
include Mg, Al, Si, P and S. This new technology opens up new PMI applications that
typically have been the forte of laboratory testing. Along with the new technology, a
new array of tools and training has been developed in conjunction with Analytical
Training Consultants (ATC) and American Petroleum Institute (API) -TPCP-0118
Certified Training Provider. These enhancements will extend the use of the analyzer
into previously too difficult testing conditions such as difficult to access locations,
hot pipes, small welds, data traceability, data encryption, photo documentation of
measured spot, and GPS location of tested spot. The addition of a PMI specific set of
Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) with a comprehensive Standard Operating
Procedure (SOP) to guide in the use of the system, and API certified PMI training
completes the total system. This complete turnkey system supplements traditional
good practices with a new “best practice” based on an all-inclusive total testing
needs approach. This paper will describe the latest advancements in HXRF
technology, plus the refinery specific testing tools and accessories that augment
and extend the reach of the HXRF technology.

EXPERIENCES OF AUDITING IN NDT
The reliable execution on any NDT inspection depends on control of many variables.
Starting from the preparation of a "WRITTEN PRACTICE" for the CERTIFICATION of
NDT personnel to the completing of the inspection report, all steps must be properly
planned and executed. During the planning and execution mistakes can occur and
hence, must be audited to detect and rectify them. In this paper, the common lapses
observed by the author during several audits are presented and a systematic
approach to Auditing is discussed.

PT EVALUATION OF INTERNAL WELD OVER LAY ON LONGER PIPE ( UP TO 2000 MM)
HAVING SMALLER DIAMETER (4" TO 12" NOMINAL BORE)
This paper describes the methodology used to evaluate weld overlay PT on longer
pipe and smaller bore through atomized process.
NDT has unique merits to locate discontinuity during fabrication of equipment.
Liquid penetrant testing is one of the economic and extensively used techniques to
locate surface flaws / discontinuity on ferrous and non-ferrous material or weld.
Principal:
Liquid penetrant inspection is a method that is used to reveal surface flaws by bleed
out of a colored or fluorescent dye from the flaw.
The technique is based on the ability of a liquid to be drawn into a "clean" surface
flaw by capillary action. After a period of time called the "dwell time" excess surface
penetrant is removed and a developer applied. This acts as a blotter. It draws the
penetrant from the flaw to reveal its presence. Liquid penetrant inspection (LPI)
offers over an unaided visual inspection is that it makes defects easy access to see for
the inspector.
Colored (contrast) penetrant require good white light.
