Our advanced technologies and techniques are 

utilized in Oil & Gas operations on the following 

critical assets to identify potential damage 

mechanisms: 

• Tanks 

• Vessels 

• Heat Exchangers and Condensers 

• Piping 

• Rotating Equipment 

Our Plant Condition Management Software, 

PCMS, is the engine that drives the organization 

of inspection data and improvements to plant 

inspection plans. With the addition of the PCMS 

Risk Based Inspection module, MISTRAS has the 

ability to assess your Mechanical Integrity program 

and offer recommendations to help you optimize 

your inspection spending. This optimization is 

based on utilizing the correct inspection technique 

for the type of damage associated with your fixed 

and rotating asset. This customized plan yields increased 

reliability of your assets, reduced maintenance 

costs, shorter turnaround schedules (based 

on minimizing equipment in the turnaround) and 

increased operating income to the facility. 

CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE 

Throughout North America and the world, we 

maintain Centers of Excellence (COE) in NDT inspection 

technologies. With the use of a sophisticated, 

collaborative intranet network, our inspectors and 

engineers employ technologies/software/hardware 

that their colleagues may have developed in any one 

of our worldwide locations.

TANKS 2 

TankPAC 

Specific tank related damage mechanisms are: 

• Internal and external corrosion of roofs, 

floors and shells 

• Weld and weld heat affected zone 

integrity 

• Structural deficiencies (Settlement 

Surveys, Out of Roundness, Strapping) 

Advanced techniques used to determine the above 

damage mechanisms are: 

ACOUSTIC EMISSION TANKPAC 

MISTRAS utilizes a proprietary methodology for 

evaluating the condition of tank floors using 

Acoustic Emission (AE) while the tank is in service. 

An overall condition assessment is performed and 

individual areas of concern are noted to pinpoint 

follow up areas to inspect during a subsequent 

Out of Service inspection. 

TALRUT: ULTRASONIC TANK ANNULAR LONG 

RANGE INSPECTION 

Utilizing our proprietary LSI system, we are able 

to generate semi-quantitative data regarding the 

tank floor integrity adjacent to the shell to floor 

weld. This inspection technique encompasses 

approximately 10” into the tank floor from the 

exterior of the tank using an ultrasonic technique 

and a proprietary algorithm. The annular area of 

the tank is critical to the support structure, and 

safe operation of the tank. 

TALRUT 


TIME-OF-FLIGHT-DIFFRACTION (TOFD) 

Ultrasonic TOFD is a rapid survey tool used to 

evaluate the shell and/or roof weld and weld heat 

affected zone looking for original fabrication type 

defects, or in service corrosion occurring in the 

heat affected zone. Follow up phased array inspection 

may be required in any area that exhibits 

potential damage discovered through the TOFD 

inspection. 

AUTOMATED ULTRASONIC LSI 

The ultrasonic LSI is a rapid erosion/corrosion 

scanning tool used for ultrasonic “drops” down 

the tank shell or the roof. The device is magnetically 

attached to the tank and operated remotely. 

The amount and quality of data is far superior to 

ultrasonic thickness readings, in that actual trending 

can be visualized as in the case of liquid to air 

interface corrosion. In the case of roof readings, 

the ability to attach the scanner enhances the 

safety of the project, as there is no need to access 

the roof by inspection personnel. 

C e n t e r s o f E xc e l l e n c e 

Tank Inspection 

LSI 

• Avoid opening tanks and eliminate 

costs associated with cleaning and 

waste disposal. 

• Increase probability of detecting 

corrosion using LSI high speed 

corrosion mapping 

• Enhance safety using remote crawlers 

on roofs.

Guided Wave Collar 

• Eliminate vessels from turnarounds 

using risk based inspection (RBI) 

methodology and global inspection. 

• Identify and size defects caused by 

unique damage mechanisms like High 

Temperature Hydrogen Attack, Stress 

Corrosion Cracking, and more. 

• Perform “On-Line” Monitoring of 

suspect assets to ensure continued safe 

operation. 

VESSELS 

TOFD 

Vessel service leads to the following issues: 

• Internal and External Erosion/Corrosion 

• Cracking 

• Weld and weld heat affected zone issues 

• Metallurgical damage 



AE MONPAC PLUS INSPECTION 

MonPAC Plus is a technology package developed 

by MISTRAS that allows owners to inspect a pressure 

vessel to determine the relative condition of 

the asset while the asset is still in service. Potential 

anomalies are detected and located for use in 

follow up inspections. The use of MonPAC Plus 

greatly reduces the need to further perform costly 

out of service inspections of vessels that show no 

signs of degradation. 

ROPE ACCESS 

Certified rope access technicians work in difficult 

or inaccessible areas efficiently without the need 

for scaffolding, cranes, or mobile work platforms. 

Using rope access for inspection and maintenance 

activities generates significant cost-savings for asset 

owners, especially where traditional access 

methods comprise a major portion of the overall 

project budget. 


See Page 5, Piping, for more information. 


PULSED EDDY CURRENT (PEC) 

PEC technology is an inspection technique for 

measuring the thickness of steel objects without 

direct contact to the steel surface. The electromagnetic 

test uses a pancake probe to identify 

general corrosion through insulation or concrete 

surfaces by introducing an electric current into 

the transmitter coil, magnetizing the steel and 

measuring wall thickness. PEC is ideal for surveying 

large sections of piping or pressure vessels to 

detect areas that have been affected by moisture 

trapped under insulation causing corrosion of 

the asset being inspected. Use PEC when other 

NDT techniques may be limited due to the larger 

diameters encountered when inspecting insulated 

vessels. 

PHASED ARRAY 

See Page 5-6, Piping, for more information. 

ULTRASONIC P-SCAN 

Different forms of cracking such as fatigue, creep, 

HIC, SOHIC and various forms of embrittlement, 

may occur depending on the process in which 

the equipment is operating. These begin as microscopic 

damage and can occur along the grain 

boundaries of the parent material or the weld 

heat affected zones. The P-Scan is used to accurately 

detect and size these mechanisms in its 

early stages of damage formation, while creating 

three dimensional views of the weld that enables 

the operator to better visualize its position. 

TIME OF FLIGHT DIFFRACTION (TOFD) 

TOFD is utilized as a quick survey tool of welds 

and weld heat affected zones in pressure vessels 

looking for the presence of welding fabrication 

defects or screening for cracking. It is an excellent 

tool for providing accurate through-wall depths of 

existing cracks.

HEAT EXCHANGERS & CONDENSERS 

A variety of tube inspection techniques are used 

for bundle inspections. The choice of technique 

depends on the tube material type. MISTRAS 

technicians are cross trained on IRIS, Remote Field 

Eddy Current, Near Field Eddy Current and standard 

Eddy Current techniques and use the same 

operating system to achieve these results. This 

“Cross Training” allows us to minimize the amount 

of technicians we need to deploy to your project, 

ultimately saving inspection dollars. 

Heat Exchangers and Condensers are subject to 

various issues related to the tube bundles such as: 

• Internal and External Pitting and 

Corrosion and Erosion 

• Cracking (SCC, Fatigue, Thermal, Vibration) 

• Mechanical damage (Inlet Erosion, 

Baffle Fretting, Freeze Bulges, Tool Gouges) 

A variety of advanced techniques are used for 

bundle inspections, such as: 

REMOTE FIELD TESTING (RFT) 

Carbon steel tube bundles are inspected using 

RFT. The RFT technique utilizes the same platform 

as our standard ET inspections which does not 

require tubes to be as clean as other techniques. 

Our professional inspectors are cross trained to 

provide both ET and RFT while on site. 


NFT Sample Damage 3D Reporting 

NEAR FIELD TESTING (NFT) 

NFT is used for inspecting fin fan (air coolers) 

designed tube bundles. Also available in our 

standard ET equipment platform, NFT is a very 

reliable technique to determine ID anomalies - 

such as inlet erosion, corrosion, and pitting - that 

normally occur during service in this previously 

difficult to inspect tube design. 

INTERNAL ROTARY INSPECTION SYSTEM (IRIS) 

IRIS uses ultrasonic technology with a rotating 

transducer to deliver quantifiable data on the ID 

or OD damage to tubes. Primarily used as a prove 

up tool, IRIS requires tubes to be cleaner than other 

tube inspection techniques and scan speeds to 

be slightly slower. Also available in our ET equipment 

platform, all IRIS tube data is presented in a 

C-Scan and B-Scan profile & archived for playback. 

EDDY CURRENT (ET) 

ET is the predominant inspection technique for the 

alloy tubes. ET does not require the tubes to be 

as clean as some other techniques and is relatively 

fast compared to more quantitative techniques 

like IRIS. MISTRAS’ tube inspection specialists 

utilize the latest ET technology along with an 

electronic reporting format that allows for quick 

analysis and generation of tube sheet drawings 

and results in an easy to read template. 

3-D REPORTING 

MISTRAS tube inspection reports are revolutionary 

in their ability to provide defect data down the 

length of the tube. The tube data allows owners 

the increased ability to determine the root cause 

of tube degradation and potentially allows them 

to avoid the problem in the future through operating 

procedural changes or change in tube material 

choice during bundle repair. All tube inspection 

data is left on site in order to speed the process of 

getting the exchanger into production as quickly 

as possible. Tube inspection specialists review all 

on-site data & provide the final report to the client 

within 72 hours of the completion of the project.

Touch Point Corrosion 

• Increase probability of detection 

utilizing comprehensive global 

inspection methods 

• Apply appropriate ultrasonic 

techniques to various cracking 

mechanisms 

• Perform online monitoring to ensure 

safe operation of at-risk piping 

PIPING 

Guided Wave Weldstar 

The goal of piping system inspection is to increase 

the reliability of the system by increasing the 

mean run time to failure. In order to achieve 

this, an owner must utilize the proper inspection 

technique based on the associated damage 

mechanism. Utilizing point to point ultrasonic 

thickness readings is relatively useless if the owner 

is concerned about localized corrosion. Proprietary 

techniques such as a Touch Point Corrosion 

ultrasonic methodology and On-line monitoring of 

suspect lines are available through MISTRAS. 

In addition to damage mechanisms, accessibility 

to the piping becomes a determining factor in 

the choice of inspection tools. For instance, for 

piping systems at height, MISTRAS utilizes rope 

access technicians to aid in the inspection. These 

individuals are capable of performing any inspection 

from ropes that we perform from the ground 

including Guided Wave, Erosion Corrosion scanning, 

PEC Tool or Pocket UT. 

A variety of potential damage mechanisms need to 

be considered when inspecting piping, such as: 

• External Erosion Corrosion 

• Internal Erosion Corrosion 

• Cracking 

• Mechanical Damage 

• Metallurgical Issues 

• Weld Quality 

• Leaking Valves 





Our LSI system performs ultrasonic surveys at 25 

inches per second, allowing us to inspect large areas 

of piping very quickly. Our UTIA software allows 

the operator enhanced flexibility to analyze 

the data for optimum visual correlation with the 

A-B and C-Scans. Stitching multiple scans together 

allows an overview of the entire piping system. 

PHASED ARRAY 

Phased array is a versatile tool that electronically 

produces multiple wave modes and angles 

electronically in nanoseconds. This is an excellent 

choice for detecting cracking caused by a host of 

other damage mechanisms and is highly beneficial 

in providing accurate sizing data for use in Fitness 

for Service calculations. Phased Array may also 

be used to perform final acceptance of code quality 

welding per ASME code requirement in lieu of 

radiography. This application results in substantial 

savings to the owners by eliminating the restricted 

areas required when performing radiography. 

GUIDED ULTRASONIC LONG RANGE 

Guided wave technology utilizes torsional and 

longitudinal waves to inspect large sections of 

piping from one location. Guided wave is used 

as a screening tool, in most cases, on insulated 

piping as well as buried piping, wharf and jetty 

piping, offshore piping in splash zones and in traditionally 

inaccessible areas. It is also used as part 

of a PMI Retrofit program to locate piping welds 

between attachments.

Phased Array P-Scan & Computed RT Valve Testing and Monitoring 

Guided wave can detect both internal and external 

corrosion or other significant defects and locate 

them along the pipe. MISTRAS uses the latest 

guided wave technology called the G3 or the third 

generation system which supplies better accuracy 

than previous technology. In addition, Permanently 

Installed Sensors (PIMS) can be installed in various 

locations, including buried piping applications, 

to monitor areas that are suspect without having 

to dig trenches for subsequent inspections. 

ULTRASONIC P-SCAN 

Whether looking for a more thorough tool to 

evaluate the quality of a weld, or for environmentally 

assisted cracking such as fatigue, stress 

corrosion cracking and others, the P-Scan system is 

more than capable of imaging these flaws in a way 

to better evaluate, characterize and size them. 

COMPUTED RT 

Computed Radiography is especially effective when 

used with profile radiographic techniques when 

looking for quantitative & qualitative data for piping. 

This technique enables evaluation of large sections 

of piping to determine erosion/corrosion rates 

in this section vs. the relatively small areas obtained 

using point to point ultrasonic thickness exams. In 

addition, computed radiography may be used during 

ASME or other code welding processes in lieu 

of traditional radiography. The combination of computed 

radiography and a Selenium 65 radiographic 

source enables a dramatic reduction of radiation in 

boundary areas. This reduction allows welders to 

work in close proximity to the inspection area. 


ACOUSTIC EMISSION (AE) 

Leaking valves are a common problem with results 

showing that 5 to 10 percent of the valves in Oil 

and Gas plants leak. More importantly, it was 

determined that just 1 to 2 percent of the valves 

accounted for approximately 70 percent of the 

losses. Valve leak detection works by detecting 

the “noise” produced as the medium passes 

through the valve as “turbulent” flow. Turbulent 

flow creates a signal with frequency components 

well over 100 KHz. This allows the use of high frequency 

acoustic emission sensors with frequencies 

above the vibration and background noise level 

of the plant. This characteristic makes reliable 

detection and quantification of leaks possible. In 

addition to being able to determine if a valve is 

leaking, our proprietary algorithms allow us to 

“quantify” the amount of the leak. 

ADVANCED ULTRASONIC BACKSCATTER 

TECHNIQUE (AUBT) 

Certain low alloy carbon steel material operating 

at temperatures and hydrogen partial pressures 

above the Nelson Curve, can be suspect 

to decarburization as well as microfissuring and 

macrocracking, which can result in catastrophic 

consequences. With the use of proven ultrasonic 

technologies evaluating frequency dependence, 

velocities, and several other factors, we are able to 

help determine which pieces have been affected 

by High Temperature Hydrogen Attack (HTHA).

ROTATING EQUIPMENT 

Predictive Maintenance (PdM) and Proactive 

Maintenance (ProAM) technologies are utilized on 

the following assets: 

Rotating Equipment 

• Motors 

• Pumps 

• Compressors 

• Gearboxes 

• Turbines 

• Fans 

Electrical Equipment 

• Transformers 

• Motor Control Centers 

• Switch Gear 

Fixed Equipment 

• Steam Traps 

• Compressed Air lines 

A variety of potential damage mechanisms need to 

be considered when applying PdM/ProAM 

technologies such as: 

• Bearing Damage 

• Gear Damage 

• Coupling type and condition 

• Lubrication - Lack of and 

Contamination 

• Alignment of coupled shafts 

• Balance or rotors 

• Leaks 

• Electrical Discharge 

Advanced techniques used to detect the various 

issues listed above are: 

VIBRATION ANALYSIS 

Vibration Analysis technology can be applied to all 

rotating equipment on site. Utilizing this technology 

can provide the site with immediate insight into 

the health of the rotating components. It can be 

used to isolate the location of damage to rotating 

components, as well as help determine the 


severity of damage. All of the potential damage 

mechanisms listed above and more can be identified, 

trended and potentially eliminated by effectively 

implemented PdM programs using vibration 

analysis. Vibration is applied to equipment in 

service so there is no impact to production. 

MISTRAS Services can also provide this technology 

in hazardous environments by the use of 

Intrinsically Safe (IS) equipment. 

OIL ANALYSIS 

Lube oil is critical to the health of any rotating 

piece of equipment. Understanding the condition 

of the lubrication (oil/grease) in rotating 

equipment allows operations and maintenance to 

effectively plan lubrication PMs. Due to sample 

size equipment, isolation and shut down are not 

required. MISTRAS uses independent lab analysis 

and correlates the data with other PdM technologies 

in a unified database. Applying multiple technologies 

provides our customers the confidence 

with secondary and tertiary confirmation. 

AIRBORNE ULTRASONICS (AU) 

Airborne Ultrasonics is used in several applications 

to monitor bearings, electrical discharge, 

air leaks and effective management of lube oil 

programs. Some assets are inaccessible to vibration 

probes, however airborne ultrasonics can 

be applied effectively. Airborne Ultrasonics, used 

in combination with Thermography scans, has 

provided additional accuracy and safety to electrical 

system inspections. PdM programs have saved 

hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by using 

UT to find steam and compressed air leaks. 

INFRARED INSPECTION (IR) 

Thermography, initially considered an electrical 

inspection technique, can be applied to rotating 

and fixed assets as well. Used in electrical inspection, 

it can identify differences in temperatures of 

connections, fuses, transformers, switchgear, etc.

Vibration Analysis 

Combining IR and AU is essential to any comprehensive 

PdM program, and applying AU provides 

additional levels of safety during electrical inspections. 

Electrical discharge, also known as carona, 

can only be detected using AU, and the effects of 

carona can be found with visual and IR inspection. 

MOTOR CURRENT SIGNATURE ANALYSIS (MCSA) 

Our periodic MCSA program detects motor faults 

such as broken/cracked bars, as well as problems 

with the high resistance joints on any AC induction 

motor. Our advanced approach helps to identify 

the probability and severity of these faults, while 

trending values to allow ample time for scheduling 

repairs. 

ACOUSTIC EMISSION (AE) 

Acoustic Emission is the term used when defects 

in metals, plastics and other materials rapidly 

release energy when subjected to mechanical 

loading. The energy propagates in the form of high 

frequency stress waves and these types of oscillations 

are picked up by AE sensors on the surface of 

the specimen and converted to electrical signals, 

so-called bursts. The AE analysis is the characterization 

of the bursts according to intensity and 

frequency content. Analyzing bursts from several 

sensors at well placed positions on the asset allows 

for determination of the location of the AE 

source(s) on the asset. 

Thermography 


LASER ALIGNMENT 

Precision laser alignment of coupled machinery is 

critical to maximizing the performance and availability 

of machine trains. Misaligned machines are 

more likely to experience seal and bearing failures 

and can result in reduced product quality and 

ultimately production shutdowns. Misalignment is 

most frequently detected during routine vibration 

data collection. 

DYNAMIC ROTOR BALANCE 

Dynamic balancing extends your equipment’s life 

by eliminating vibration that destroys mechanical 

components. MISTRAS can balance rotors in their 

own bearings on site, utilizing portable equipment. 

Precision On-site balancing drastically reduces 

downtime and repair costs, while increasing 

your productivity. Our staff brings extensive 

balancing experience to your plant for virtually 

every type, shape and size of rotor.

VALUE ADDED SERVICES PACKAGES (VASP) 

Permanently Installed Monitor (PIMS) LSI Results 

Our Value Added Services Packages are 

encompassed in our Asset Integrity 

Management (AIMS) methodology. The AIMS approach 

combines traditional NDT with Advanced 

NDT, Engineering analysis and our robust PCMS 

software package, to yield cost effective solutions 

to current issues with regards to fixed and rotating 

equipment in the Oil and Gas industry. Most 

plants utilize traditional inspection techniques to 

inspect the assets that are covered in the plant’s 

mechanical integrity program to prioritize their 

fixed assets based on time and interval based 

programs, with the data residing in an Inspection 

Data Management System (IDMS). In our case, the 

data is housed in our Plant Condition Monitoring 

Software (PCMS). 

Advanced techniques are utilized as stand alone 

technology, part of a technology solution to combine 

engineered pre-project planning with Risk 

Based Inspection (RBI) techniques (also available 

in PCMS) or a combination of multiple advanced 

techniques with more definitive quantitative 

inspection techniques used to “prove up” our 

holistic approach(es). 

Most of these technologies are implemented while 

the asset is still in service, thereby eliminating 

or greatly reducing the cleaning, environmental 

remediation and disposal costs required to inspect 

the asset while it is out of service. This also 

reduces the unanticipated discovery and associated 

inspection and repair cost when the assets 

are opened. In all cases, MISTRAS personnel can 


not only provide the inspection technology that is 

appropriate based on anticipated damage mechanism, 

but also house the data within PCMS and 

evaluate the data by performing code approved 

engineering calculations that yield accurate 

remaining useful life, and run, repair or replacement 

decisions. 

An additional benefit of using MISTRAS is our ability 

to provide on-line health monitoring on high 

risk critical assets to allow plant operators to continue 

to operate an asset that exhibits high risk of 

potential failure until the plant can implement a 

cost effective alternative plan, such as the repair 

or replacement of the asset in question. 

CASE STUDY: EXTERNAL CORROSION OF ABOVE 

GROUND PROCESS PIPING 

External corrosion in above ground piping can occur 

due to a variety of issues including corrosion 

under insulation, Touch Point Corrosion (TPC) or 

Point of Contact corrosion. MISTRAS provides a 

holistic program to address these two concerns as 

well as addressing other concerns such as Retro 

Positive Material Identification to determine if the 

proper weld filler material was used during piping 

construction (a common failure in the Oil and Gas 

industry). 

As illustrated in our Asset Integrity Management 

approach our external corrosion program follows 

a regimented, consistent method that prescribes 

the proper technologies to identify potential dam-

Finite Element Analysis Risk Based Inspection Rope Access 

age as well as provide operating decisions to the 

plant owners regarding the ability to run, repair 

or replace the asset. Our standardized corrosion 

program utilizes external visual inspections, 

performed by an API 570 inspector, to verify piping 

isometrics or correct any “field” deviations from 

the isometric drawings. In addition, the inspector 

identifies potential problem areas. Corrosion 

monitoring locations (CML’s) are assigned based 

on API 570 criteria along with good engineering 

practice. Next, thickness measurements are obtained 

using a combination of ultrasonic thickness 

readings, ultrasonic corrosion surveys or traditional/computed 

profile radiography. All measurements 

are then populated into our PCMS 

database. 

In the case of Corrosion under Insulation, Touch 

Point Corrosion or other more sophisticated programs, 

the following steps are performed: 

• Identify piping systems of interest 

• Walk down piping systems while reviewing, 

verifying and editing all P&ID and Isometric 

drawings normally performed by an API 570 

visual inspector 

• Enter drawings into PCMS 

• Globally inspect the piping systems using Guided 

Ultrasonic Long Range inspection. Indicate 

where potential damage is occurring and if part 

of a PMI retrofit program, transcribe weld line 

details to updated P&ID’s and ISO’s. If GUL is 

being used for Touch Point Corrosion concerns, 

indicate those TPC’s that exhibit potential damage 

and note on drawings. 


• Follow up qualitative or semi-qualitative inspections. 

For TPC concerns, utilize MISTRAS’ 

proprietary Pocket UT system for touch point 

corrosion. Results are expressed in percentage 

wall loss within a range. For weld defects 

related to PMI concerns, utilize phased array 

and/or P-Scan ultrasonic technology. For various 

process induced anomalies (HIC, SOHIC etc.) 

utilize a combination of Time of Flight Diffraction 

and P-Scan. 

• Indicate amount of pipe wall loss, location of 

damage and extent of damage using 

LSI/Pocket UT C-Scan mapping 

• Evaluate extent of damage using Fitness for 

Service calculations. FFS results will indicate 

future operational decisions such as repair, 

replace or run and monitor 

• On-line monitoring using Acoustic Emission, 

Vibration, Strain Gauging or other On-line 

techniques using MISTRAS’ Sensor Highway II 

system tied into the plant’s control room or 

remotely monitored from MISTRAS corporate 

office 

• Upload all data into PCMS 

• Reinspect using standard API calculations 

imbedded in PCMS software or utilize API 580 

based RBI calculations for reinspection data also 

imbedded in PCMS 

• Eliminate scaffolding cost 

• Refiner saved $945,000 in a 3 month 

period avoiding scaffolding 

• Use PCMS RBI to prioritize 

appropriate NDT inspection techniques.
