As FRP composites become more widely used for storage vessels, process tanks and piping across industries, choosing the right inspection method is imperative.
Here's a snapshot of how inspection methods stack up:

#UltraAnalytix #ndt #inspectionandtesting
Like any industrial asset, #FRP pipes, tanks, scrubbers and ductwork require regular #inspection for structural integrity — and the more accurate a picture that inspection gives you, the better. 🧵
As a result, you can develop robust #assetmanagement plans and capital budgets well before your equipment needs replacing.

Based on the results, UTComp engineers also designed the FRP extension and provided the specifications for manufacturing, installation and quality control.
Reliability engineers: are you inspecting your FRP pipes and tanks with the same diligence that you inspect steel assets?
Here's what you need to know: 🧵 1/4

3 damage mechanisms can occur for FRP:
- Damage to the matrix, or resin
- Damage to the reinforcement fibers
- Damage to the interface of the matrix
