Inspect Further. Detect Earlier. Reduce Downtime.
What Is It
Long Range Ultrasonic Testing
Inspect Extended Pipe Lengths From a Single Access Point.
Long pipelines and inaccessible pipe sections can be difficult and expensive to inspect using conventional methods. Our LRUT service uses guided ultrasonic waves to inspect extended lengths of piping from a single test location.
Guided ultrasonic waves travel along the pipe and identify changes caused by corrosion, wall thinning, and other defects - particularly useful for pipelines that are buried, insulated, elevated, or difficult to access.
Our LRUT service supports:
- Long-distance pipeline inspection
- Corrosion and wall-loss detection
- Buried pipeline assessment
- Inspection under insulation
- Pipeline condition monitoring
Why LRUT
Why Choose Long Range Ultrasonic Testing?
Wide Coverage
Inspect extended pipe lengths from a single test location.
Minimal Access
Reduce the need for excavation, scaffolding, or insulation removal.
Early Detection
Identify corrosion and wall loss before they become critical.
Cost Efficient
Reduce inspection time, manpower, and access-related costs.
How It Works
Our Long Range Ultrasonic Testing Method
Our LRUT process combines guided-wave technology with detailed data analysis.
Pre-Inspection Survey
Review pipe size, material, coating, insulation, access, and risk areas.
Collar Setup
Install and calibrate the ultrasonic transducer collar at the selected test location.
Guided Wave Inspection
Send low-frequency ultrasonic waves along the pipe to inspect extended lengths.
Signal Analysis
Analyze wave reflections to identify potential corrosion, wall loss, and defects.
Location & Reporting
Map areas of concern and provide clear inspection findings and recommendations.
