All owners and operators have a requirement to extend the useful life of their plant, and the early detection of corrosion and cracking is a significant consideration in the long term management of equipment integrity. There is often a requirement to inspect large areas, such as on separator vessels or long pipelines and achieving the desired coverage using conventional ultrasonic approaches can be time-consuming and costly. In addition, inaccessible regions such as pipes on pipe supports or under clamps generally cannot be inspected unless the entire assembly is dismantled, often involving expensive shutdowns and significant effort and cost.

The CHIME® technique solves these problems by offering large area, single pass screening, which inspects the full volume between the probes (which may be separated by up to 1m).
