PHONON DIAGNOSTIC

Phonon Diagnostics Technology is based on real-time diagnostics of physics process which goes in material and structure of facilities

PHONON EMISSION

The result of interaction of energy and material are various physical processes taking place in the material: stress concentration, deformation, corrosion, fatigue damage, destructions.

Phonon emission appears on areas of defects formation and growth, said another way of hazardous operating conditions

Phonon inspection consists in acquisition, recording, processing, analyzing and interpreting characteristic and factors of phonon emission propagation

ENERGY + MATERIAL = PHONON EMISSION

PHONON DIAGNOSTICS EQUIPMENT

Phonon Equipment is compact portable and easy-to-instal modular equipment:

Phonon software, Control computer, Data acquisition module, Magnetic holder, Radio Synchronisation module and Phonon emission transducer

Transducers detect signals from phonon emission sources

Phonon software processes signals and localises position of the sources on the component

100% coverage of volume and surface of the inspected component

PHONON INSPECTION: PIPELI NES

Above ground, underground & underwater, including hard-to-reach pipelines

PLANAR MODE:

Inspection from one point only. Max. length of the inspected segment is about 500m, for more length to be studied each case.

LINEAR MODE:

Inspection from two points simultaneously (start and end points). Max. length of the inspected segment is up to 1 km, for more length to be studied each case.

- 100% coverage of the inspected pipeline

- Real-time data acquisition

- Inspection without change of operating mode

PHONON INSPECTION: PRESSURE VESSELS, TANKS

Capacity facilities of any type without changing of filling level

TANK INSPECTION:

PRESSURE VESSEL INSPECTION :

In-service, fast and 100% coverage of the inspected vessel

- Any geometric shape

- 100% coverage

- Real-time data acquisition

- Inspection without emptying, without change of operating mode

PHONON INSPECTION STEPS

1. PREPARATION:

Preparation of obtaining of information that will be used to design the facility mathematical model, selection of configuration, presettings and theoretical calibration, mobilisation of inspectors and phonon equipment.

2. PRELIMINARY INSPECTION:

Updating or settings and performing calibration of equipment, processing and analysis of phonon diagnostics data on site.

3 . PHONON MONITORING:

Real-time data acquisition using phonon equipment.

4. PHONON DATA PROCESSING :

Processing and analysis of the gathered data, final reports preparation.

Phonon Diagnostics is certified by main international centres, such as ILAC, ISO, Maritime Register of Shipping, Bureau Veritas, Vietnam Register, etc.
