Silverwing supplies Rapid Motion Scanners for contracts in Turkey
13/10/2015
After 15 months of negotiation, Enkon, a Turkish-based NDT contractor, has recently purchased two Silverwing RMS systems to aid with securing contracts in both Turkey and Iraq. Enkon is planning a campaign of non-intrusive corrosion mapping of pressure vessels and oil storage tanks, which will enable the field operations to manage this risk and provide reliable data for repair or replacement of plant during planned shutdowns.The end-user requirements included a fully-automated ultrasonic defect and corrosion mapping system, with fully computerised data acquisition and recording capabilities. The system needed to have adjustable high-resolution capability and demonstrate repeatability and high accuracy. Reports will be presented in such a format to enable future location referencing of results and ensure a comparison of features for the determination of defect development rates and be capable of presenting multiple scan views of the inspected items and capable of full detection, sizing and discrimination.
Ms Filiz, General Coordinator for Enkon, said: “The main deciding factor in placing a purchase order in favour of Silverwing was the end-user specification, the high quality of the product and the application knowledge and support provided by the sales team.”
Key features of the Silverwing RMS system include that it is a scaffold-free system and remotely accessed, offering high-speed scanning and A-scan, B-scan, C-scan and 3D views. Paint removal is not required. Simultaneous mapping of both front surface and back surface is also possible, which is easily visualised using 3D C-scans. Classical post inspection analysis and reporting software is included and the system offers equipment accuracy, repeatability and reliability.
