AXUS High Temperature Weld Location: 

AXUS High Temperature Weld Location 711 Sherry Drive Sulphur, Louisiana 70663 Office: 337 540-1137 Fax: 337 625-9284

Why use AXUS for Weld Location?: 

Why use AXUS for Weld Location? High Temperature In-Service Piping can be scanned AXUS can tolerate conditions to over 1000ºF Applicable to almost all conditions (surface) and configurations Limited Insulation Removal Low cost insulation removal due to accurate weld location Less invasive during in-service application Less interruption to in-service operating conditions Rapid Scanning Capabilities High Speed Screening – Saves Maintenance and Inspection Costs Capable of covering Long distances (configuration dependent) Accurate & Repeatable Capable of logging data to be viewed at later date Repeatability for future installation tracking Reduce necessary scaffolding & insulation removal Strip small windows in insulation for PMI shots

AXUS for Weld Detection: 

AXUS for Weld Detection AXUS AXUS Can be used on PLATES Or PIPES

Measurement Principals: 

Measurement Principals Time of Flight Velocity Transmitted Amplitude Attenuation Reflected Amplitude Reflection- Coefficient Minimum Flaw Size proportional to Wave front Large Wave Front Long Distance/Lower Sensitivity Small Wave Front Shorter Distance/Higher Sensitivity

AXUS Guided Wave Travel: 

AXUS Guided Wave Travel Wave Propagation Sound Waves reflect off weld Low frequency sound waves allow for long distance & Less attenuation on long runs with multiple welds AXUS AXUS Scan two directions without moving the AXUS tool

AXUS Screening ToolsCan Be Designed for Client Specific Applications: 

AXUS Screening Tools Can Be Designed for Client Specific Applications Areas with Blanket Insulation make for easy access to locate welds under insulation 18” 18” is all that’s needed for application

AXUS Screening ToolsCan Be Designed for Client Specific Applications: 

AXUS Screening Tools Can Be Designed for Client Specific Applications Strip small areas of insulation to perform PMI Measurements High temperature Weld locator over 1000 ºF

AXUS Guided Wave:

Retro PMI Inspection: 

Retro PMI Inspection Identify systems to be inspected Identify number of piping spools per drawing Identify number of components (nipples,fittings,valves,etc..)per drawing Identify number of piping spools and components (nipples,fittings,valves,etc..)per drawing to be Inspected Enter all points into tracking spreadsheet Strip insulation at known components and scaffold as needed Prepare surface for PMI Take surface temp. readings and record Take PMI readings at designated locations and record using ASME B 16.20 color code for material types Use Weld detection tool at stripped areas to locate any unknown welds Strip areas found using weld detection tool and take appropriate PMI readings(if any found) Document all findings on report format and tracking spreadsheet NDT TOOLS USED: EMAT Weld detection AXIAL tool HIGH Temp (HT-2200) Innovex Alpha PMI Cordless Drill with appropriate grinding stone (surface prep) Fluke Contact Temperature Probe ASME B16.20 color code chart for material types

These Claims are Possiblebecause of Guided Waves: 

These Claims are Possible because of Guided Waves AXUS has Superior Control of Guided Waves The AXUS specifies both WAVE LENGTH and FREQUENCY to precisely define the wave mode.

MISSION STATEMENT: 

MISSION STATEMENT Advanced Corrosion Technologies & Training L.L.C. is on a mission to become the first Technology and Training driven organization to implement a proactive methodology in determining areas of corrosion mechanisms before they become issues. We are a company of Ideas, Experience, and Integrity which allows us to be a leader in the inspection technology and training industry. The success of our efforts will be directly driven by the employees who perform the work and invent the ideas. AXUS technology is first in a series of inspection methods and tools that will lead us in becoming a pioneer in Advanced Corrosion Detection and Prevention.
