    This document describes INCOTEST, a pulsed eddy current method for measuring remaining wall thickness under insulation of ferromagnetic objects. It can detect corrosion on insulated objects in an inexpensive and reliable way, allowing up to 1000 measurements per day without requiring surface preparation. Typical applications include insulated vessels, pipelines, tanks, and risers. The system is battery-powered, fast, and can operate on- or off-stream to screen installations and plan maintenance before shutdowns.

    INCOTEST

    Insulated Component Test

    Introduction

    Using pulsed eddy current method for measuring the remaining average wall thickness under
    insulation of low alloy carbon steel/ferromagnetic object and analyzing their decay and is the
    most reliable method for corrosion detection.

    This is an excellent technique to be applied on objects that are insulated and also can be
    applied on objects that are difficult or extreme cost accessible. The range of application is
    enormous and INCOTEST contributes in significantly reducing inspection cost. This pulse eddy
    current technology is an excellent on-stream tool for positioning further inspection works
    during shut down or periodic maintenance works.

    Advantages:

     ON/OFF –Stream Measurements


     Up to 1000 measurements per day (fast –speed)
     Battery Operated
     No Coupling required
     Minimized Preparation Cost ( including material surface)

    This system dies not require cleaning or removal of concrete/coating/insulation. In most cases
    scaffolding is not necessary and this results in huge savings in comparison to traditional
    inspection preparation cost.

    By monitoring with INCOTEST, you will substantially reduce the chances to failure of your
    equipment. Assessment of the damage that results from CUI (Corrosion Under Insulation) or
    FAC (Flow Accelerated Corrosion) is a relatively inexpensive and a prudent prevention method.

    Applications:

    The INOCTEST sensor can be easily handled by a diver or a rope access operator to improve
    accessibility. For measurements on risers and caissons in the splash zone or deeper a
    manipulator can be applied.
    INCOTEST can be used to detect Accelerated Low Water Corrosion and a comprehensive report
    will address the areas where maintenance is necessary which enables you to plan your
    maintenance and allocate funds necessary

    Typical applications are:


     insulated vessels,
     pipelines and storage tanks,
     legs of spherical tanks,
     riser/caisson (splash zone)
     rough corroded or coated surfaces (steel sheet pilling)

    The technique is perfect for screening applications. Customers gain the knowledge they need
    about their installations well before shutdowns so that they can allocate maintenance budgets
    to where it is required most urgently.
