DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION TESTING OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE WEDGES FOR ON-STREAM INSPECTION OF O&G ASSETS

When designing the high-temp wedge, SNI engineers considered three factors: wedge material velocity, acoustic sensitivity, and high-frequency components of the UT signal. Through research and experimentation, SNI engineers were able to solidify their selection of materials for two high-temp wedges. This new wedge solution offers a versatile and cost-effective alternative for on-stream inspections in the oil and gas and power generation industries.
