AUT Corrosion Mapping

AUT Corrosion Mapping for High-Resolution Wall Loss Analysis

AUT corrosion mapping delivers detailed insights into wall loss, topography, and remaining thickness of pipeline materials. Using advanced NDT solutions, this technology provides a high degree of repeatability and reliable data for long-term asset planning.

Advantages:

Detailed C-scan illustrations of affected areas
Highly repeatable data for monitoring corrosion over time
Supports pipe field services and large-area assessments

Applications for AUT Corrosion Mapping

AUT corrosion mapping is used to detect and evaluate a wide range of corrosion mechanisms and material conditions, providing detailed insight into both surface and subsurface degradation.

Detection of opposite-side corrosion, pitting, and erosion
Identification of mid-wall and subsurface indications such as laminations, inclusions, and blisters
Location and detection of Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC) and related blistering

Advantages of AUT Corrosion Mapping

AUT corrosion mapping provides highly repeatable, data-rich inspection results that support accurate analysis, comparison, and long-term monitoring of asset condition.

High degree of repeatability for consistent monitoring over time
Location and dimensional data for each discontinuity, enabling comparison of repeat scans and tracking of corrosion rates
C-scan (top-down) and cross-sectional views for clear visualization of damage
Encoded scanning for rapid data collection across large inspection areas

Limitations of AUT Corrosion Mapping

While highly effective, AUT corrosion mapping requires proper access and surface conditions to ensure accurate data collection and reliable results.

Requires physical access to the inspection area
Surface cleanliness and roughness can impact data quality
Tracks or magnetic strips may be required for stainless or non-magnetic materials
