Sure! The Internal Rotary Inspection System (IRIS) is a non-destructive testing method used to inspect the integrity of tubes, pipes, and pipelines.
IRIS involves inserting a probe into the interior of the tube or pipe that emits high-frequency ultrasonic waves. These waves travel through the material and reflect back to the probe, creating a detailed image of the wall thickness and any potential defects or areas of corrosion.
The inspection process is typically carried out by rotating the probe at a steady speed as it travels along the length of the tube or pipe. This allows for a thorough and accurate examination of the entire surface area.
IRIS is commonly used in industries such as petrochemical, power generation, and aerospace to assess the condition of critical components and ensure they are safe and reliable for continued use. It provides valuable data on the integrity of the material, helps identify potential issues before they cause failures, and allows for timely maintenance and repair.
