Non‐Destructive Techniques IN REFINERY INSPECTION

Considerable headway is being made in the acceptance of non‐destructive testing methods for refinery construction and maintenance. If properly used, these techniques constitute a valuable tool for determining the quality of workmanship (in acceptance tests of refinery equipment) and the survival outlook of installed equipment which may be exposed to mechanical wear, erosion or corrosion. They find further application in locating obstructions which may form in pipelines or other equipment.
