Computerised
analysis, Storage and Reporting of Heat Exchanger Inspection Data
Torch Integrated Inspection Services offers a specialist heat exchanger
inspection data service with over two decades of expertise in this
field.
The Automated Tube Inspection System (ATIS) is a software package
which carries out automated analysis of the data from eddy current,
DINSEARCH and CENTEST in-service tube inspection systems in real
time. The results can be classified in terms of defect severity
and stored to hard disk from which they can be retrieved and summarised
at any time. The system’s main advantages are its reliability, accuracy,
repeatability and the ease of retrieval of information; as such,
the system is ideal for the “Finger-printing” of exchangers in order
to monitor any degradation over a given period.
The system also incorporates a reporting package with facilities
for the generation of colour coded tube sheet drawings and statistical
analysis. The system is offered as an addition to our standard inspection
service, and applications can be appraised for suitability on request.
During the in-service eddy current and electromagnetic inspection
of heat exchanger tubing, analysis has been traditionally carried
out manually and involves many hours of examining paper strip charts.
This manual interpretation of chart records has obvious disadvantages
in terms of reliability, accuracy, repeatability and productivity.
Because of these problems, Torch Integrated Inspection Services
has invested in the latest in computerised analysis, storage and
reporting systems.
