Environment-Assisted Corrosion Cracking in Carbon Steels Utilizing Advanced Ultrasonic Techniques

Environmental stress fracture or environment assisted fracture is the generic name given to premature failure under the influence of tensile stresses. A metal in a corrosive environment and under mechanical loading can fail due to one of three cracking modes depending on the nature of the environment and the applied stresses.. Material deterioration mechanisms are one of the Petrochemical Industry’s leading causes of ageing Pipe and Plant equipment failure, repair, and replacement. Surface initiated cracks caused by environmental cracking of 300 Series SS and some nickel base alloys under the combined action of tensile stress, temperature and an aqueous chloride environment. The presence of dissolved oxygen increases propensity for cracking. This course will discuss and review detecting, characterizing and monitoring stress corrosion cracks (SCC) and stain and stepwise cracks (SWC). This workshop will explore the technology, techniques and benefits of phased array and AUT mapping to detect /characterize / measure / monitor stress corrosion cracks and stepwise cracks in ageing plant equipment and pipe.

Eddy Current Array

Workshop No.

Following on closely from the establishment of ultrasonic phased array, eddy current array (ECA) is a rapidly growing technology with greatly improved POD and productivity compared to conventional eddy current techniques. ECA has been developed to enhance detection of circumferential defects in non-ferrous heat exchanger tubes particularly adjacent to or under the tube sheet where conventional bobbin probes struggle to detect such defects. ECA is also effective for surface inspection improving and in many applications the technology is replacing MPI, DPI and ACFM. This workshop will explain the theory of ECA and demonstrate several applications relevant to the oil & gas and power generation sectors. The presentation and practical demonstrations are geared towards Supervisors and Operation Managers who will benefit from hands on experience.

MFL/IRIS Tube Inspection

This workshop will focus on advances in the IRIS and MFL tube inspection techniques with particular reference to ferromagnetic heat exchanger tubes both with and without fins. Recent developments have eliminated the need for the MFL absolute channel drift compensation accessory. In the case of IRIS, the maximum turbine speed has increased to over 100 revolutions per second allowing for either greater probe pulling speeds or greater resolution. The latter is particularly significant in identifying pitting. Minimisation of the “dead zone” has allowed IRIS to be used more effectively on thinner walled tube. Supervisors and Managers will benefit with the knowledge they will gain.

The Saudi Arabian Section (SAS) of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing was chartered in 1999. Since then, the section has grown to over 650 individual and corporate members. The section was founded in order to promote the discipline of NDT as a profession, provide a forum for exchange of NDT technical information through educational materials and programs, and facilitate standards and services for the qualification and certification of NDT personnel. SAS has established six successful regional conferences on NDT in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. The SAS section is the most active section with the highest standing among the worldwide NDT community.

The Bahrain Society of Engineers (BSE) was established in July 1972 by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MLSA) as a professional institution that helps Bahrain’s Engineers to contribute substantially to the development and modernization of Bahrain. BSE has vast experience in the organisation of international conferences, seminars and workshops on various subjects in the engineering arena.
