Offshore Platform Inspections
Offshore oil platforms are steel structures that are particularly susceptible to corrosion. Consequently, NDT corrosion and weld inspections are essential. For rope access technicians working on oil rigs, the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector is comfortable to use and has the features to get the job done. With an innovative corrosion module software option, corrosion scanning is fast and efficient, even while suspended above the ocean from a rope. And with a comprehensive set of weld-related support features, you can accomplish inspections guided by a variety of procedures and sizing techniques.
In-Service Wind Turbine Inspections
In-service wind turbine towers and blades are regularly inspected by rope access NDT technicians, and the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector is powerful enough to conduct both inspections using a single instrument. The acoustic and sizing features of the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector are well-suited to inspecting the welded joints of a wind tower. Given the attenuation and sound scattering properties of composite blade material, turbine blade inspections require a very capable instrument, and the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector is up to the challenge.
Bridge and Structural Steel Inspections
The EPOCH 6LT flaw detector offers all of the necessary features for bridge and structural steel inspections, including an optional AWS D1.1/1.5 Weld Rating Calculator for dynamic indication ratings. Other feature requirements, such as DAC/TCG and DGS/AVG, are included with every EPOCH 6LT flaw detector to provide flexible inspection tools for weld and base material evaluation.
