Inside the Asset

Inspection methods

Understand the technique, then explore how it is used on real equipment types.

Vibration analysis

Sensors, spectra and operating data used to assess rotating and reciprocating machinery.

Equipment-specific tests for breaker operation, protection, and transformer condition.

Techniques selected for tube material, damage mechanism, and examination conditions.

Thickness readings and local confirmation of wall loss.

Ultrasonic techniques for targeted weld examination and characterization.

Screening compatible ferromagnetic surfaces for metal loss.

Screening compatible walls through suitable insulation systems.

Visualizing gases within the camera’s spectral response.

Cameras and robotic platforms for accessible internal and elevated views.

Temperature patterns and acoustic observations that guide follow-up.

Guide links contain equipment-specific examples. Method selection depends on material, geometry, access, and suspected damage.
