When it comes to safety<\/strong> in the oil and gas<\/strong> sector and in the offshore<\/strong> sector, the margins of error are reduced to zero. Pipes, flanges, welds and metal structures must guarantee absolute integrity<\/strong>, even in extreme environments and subjected to high stresses. It is in this context that non-destructive testing (NDT)<\/strong> becomes a strategic resource, not only to comply with regulations, but to prevent accidents, breakdowns and plant downtime<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n In an oil pipeline, for example, an undetected crack in a weld could turn into a leak with very serious economic and environmental impacts<\/strong>. On an offshore platform, the degradation of a structural joint could compromise the stability of the entire plant<\/strong>. For this reason, non-destructive testing is an integral part of the life cycle of plants<\/strong>: from construction to maintenance, up to decommissioning. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” custom_margin=”||25px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The most widely used methods in these sectors are:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Depending on environmental conditions<\/strong> and applicable regulations<\/strong> (such as API, ASME, EN), controls are carried out with specific procedures<\/strong>, with qualified personnel<\/strong> and instruments calibrated according to international standards<\/strong>.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” custom_margin=”||25px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In the offshore world and in oil and gas plants, work is not done in ideal conditions. High pressures, potentially explosive atmospheres, corrosive environments, difficult access: all these factors make controls more complex and delicate<\/strong>. It is necessary to know how to adapt to any operating context<\/strong>, even on suspended, high-altitude or submerged structures. <\/span><\/p>\n Here experience in the field becomes fundamental. An inexperienced coach may find himself in difficulty, or make a mistake in interpreting the results. On the contrary, a qualified operator<\/strong> accustomed to working in critical environments can carry out the control quickly, safely and accurately<\/strong>, minimizing downtime. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” custom_margin=”||25px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n It should not be forgotten that NDTs are not only used to verify that “everything is in place”. They are mainly used to predict failures<\/strong>, monitor the evolution of a defect<\/strong>, plan targeted interventions<\/strong>. This is the concept of predictive maintenance<\/strong>, which is increasingly central in high-risk plants. <\/span><\/p>\n A good inspection plan can dramatically reduce downtime costs<\/strong> and increase the useful life of facilities<\/strong>. This is why it is important to build a tailor-made control strategy<\/strong>, which takes into account the history of the plant, the type of processing, the materials involved and the operating conditions. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n CR Inspection<\/span><\/strong>, through its certified organization distributed throughout the Italian territory<\/strong>, is the right and reliable partner<\/strong> for the execution<\/strong> of <\/span>non-destructive tests<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.
