After successful completion of a Field Trial and Staff Training, CIA Inspection is excited to announce that our Remote Robotic Crack Detection System is ready for Commercial Service. Employing our custom built Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM) sensor developed by TSC in the UK, the system provides a follow-up service to our laser and visual inspection services. The system is capable of identifying and sizing surface breaking flaws on the interior circumferential welds of coke drums. Utilizing our current laser inspection platform as a base, the remotely deployed system requires no scaffolding and is designed to operate inside live vessels without blinding. Initially our ACFM inspection service will be used as a follow-up to the laser and video scan. The system can identify and size cracks in recognized areas of concern. Ultimately, our intention is to inspect up to three complete circ welds in a similar time to that of our existing service.
