What Is IRIS

IRIS is an advanced ultrasonic method for non-destructive testing of pipes and tubes.

It is suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Equipment We Use

How IRIS Works:

Water-Flooded Tubes:

  • An IRIS probe is inserted into a tube filled with water.

Ultrasonic Pulse Generation:

  • The probe’s transducer emits ultrasonic pulses parallel to the tube’s axis.

Rotating Mirror:

  • A mirror, rotated by a turbine, directs pulses into the tube wall.

Reflection Analysis:

  • Pulses reflect off the inner and outer walls.
  • The time-of-flight difference reveals wall thickness.

Helical Scan Path:

  • The probe’s withdrawal creates a spiral scan, ensuring complete coverage.

Advantages of Choosing IRIS

Benefits of IRIS Testing:

Material Compatibility:

  • Effective for various materials.

Defect Detection:

  • Identifies corrosion, pitting, and wall loss.

Measurement Accuracy:

  • Provides precise wall thickness measurements.

Defect Sensitivity:

  • Sensitive to both internal and external defects.

Defect Localization:

  • Pinpoints defect positions in relation to tube length.

Complete Coverage:

  • Achieves 100% inspection coverage.

Data Storage:

  • Allows for results data storage.

Inspection Flexibility:

  • Serves as a backup to other inspection methods.
