Equipment inspection and assessment intervals of stationary and rotating equipment has conventionally been driven by the equipment manufacturer, jurisdictional authority or by intervals set by other major equipment within your plant. As equipment ages the timing of these inspection and assessment intervals will vary depending on how the equipment is operated and maintained. Depending on the complexity and size of the equipment each component must be treated individually along with the defect mechanisms that are introduced by their service environment. If the component or equipment is not considered in this regard consequences of wasted maintenance resources can result.
Where justified we can manage our equipment assessments with the most advanced nondestructive testing methods available. Phased array ultrasonic examination, eddy current, time of flight diffraction, internal rotary inspection systems, internal pipeline integrity tools and metallurgy microscopy are some of the most sensitive technologies available to our teams. Conventional inspection and examination systems are also available for use.
QA Management Solutions Inc. also keeps current with advancing technologies that can improve your assessment methodologies by working closely with research and development companies in the materials engineering sector! ASME, API, ISO, NACE, ASM and other international Codes & Standards are utilized as reference standards along with metallurgical assessments for determining the remaining life of your equipment.
