Presentation Title: Using Robotic Tooling (ART) for Corrosion Under Insulation Detection
Presentation Summary: This presentation covers a topic addressing one of the most persistent and costly challenges in asset integrity: corrosion under insulation (CUI). Traditional methods require removing insulation, resulting in high costs and inefficiencies. However, with Automated Radiography Testing (ART) technologies like MISTRAS Group’s ART Crawler, inspections can be performed without insulation removal or process interruption. In this session, Craig will highlight how advanced remote access technologies are transforming inspection by enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and safety.
Key takeaways include:
- How ART works and why it outperforms traditional radiography.
- Ways to optimize inspection and fabric maintenance schedules to reduce overall spend.
- The strategic value of integrating ART data into Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) programs.
