Advanced Inspection
Sonomatic is a leading provider of advanced inspection services to clients in a range of industries. Our experience in application of advanced ultrasonics dates back more than 30 years when the first applications of techniques such as Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) were made outside of the nuclear industry. We continue to focus on innovations in technology and how these can benefit clients. We are unique amongst inspection service providers in that we develop our own inspection systems and scanners rather than buying commercially available equipment. This means equipment is developed around our specific requirements with respect to inspection performance, deployment methods and reliability in the field.
Our approach to inspection emphasises the following.
- Inspection performance, e.g. accuracy and detection capability, meeting client requirements
- Highest levels of service delivery, completing work on time and safely
- Value to the client, providing reliable information for effective integrity decisions
Degradation and damage mechanisms
- Inspection for internal corrosion or erosion
- Fatigue and stress corrosion cracking
- Inspection for preferential weld corrosion erosion
- Chloride damage in corrosion resistant alloys
- Hydrogen induced cracking (HIC)
- High temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA)
- Carburisation
- Welding fabrication flaws
