Case Study
Pressure Vessel Corrosion Assessment
Thickness testing and fitness-for-service assessment that safely extended a vessel's life.
Overview
A manufacturer with an ageing pressure vessel needed to know whether corrosion had compromised its integrity. NDT Australia carried out ultrasonic thickness testing and a corrosion assessment to quantify wall loss and estimate remaining life.
The assessment confirmed the vessel could remain in service with a defined inspection interval, avoiding premature replacement while maintaining safety.
The Challenge
- Ageing pressure vessel
- Unknown corrosion extent
- Need to confirm fitness for service
Our Approach
- Ultrasonic thickness surveys
- Corrosion mapping and trending
- Remaining-life assessment
- Inspection interval recommendation
The Outcome
The vessel was confirmed fit for continued service with a defined inspection interval, deferring replacement and maintaining compliance.
