Paradigm Shift in Non-Destructive Testing: IRIS
IRIS (Internal Rotary Inspection System) is a non-destructive testing method that uses ultrasound to accurately diagnose corrosion, cracks, and wear in metallic equipment. It is particularly effective in precisely analyzing the condition of critical equipment, such as heat exchanger and steam generator tubes, maximizing their safety and value. This enables the extension of equipment lifespan, prevention of unexpected failures, and efficient facility management.
