Improving the Integrity Management Process for Bonded Hoses
Status: Completed
Date Announced: September, 2010
Project reference: 21586
Validate the use of x-ray tomography/gamma source digital detection inspection methods for inspection of bonded hoses, in the presence and absence of service fluids in the hose bore. - Explore the use of Radiographic Modelling to allow development and optimisation of inspection regimes. - Provide a critical assessment on potential impacts of minimum detectable flaw size on the integrity of bonded hoses. - Enable greater confidence for asset management. - Recommend viable, proven in-situ inspection procedures and tool specifications.
