IRIS wall thickness measurement

 

 

 

 

 

 

IRIS (Internal Rotary Inspection System) is a measuring system to measure the exact thickness of both ferrous and non-ferrous tubes of exchangers, airfins, coolers, boilers and other similar equipment.

 

Most exchangers are sensitive for internal and/or external corrosion (pitting). Many other inspection methods only give a rough idea of the remaining wall thickness, do not locate the damage and are unable to measure a small decrease in tube thickness which the IRIS system does.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

Main advantages of IRIS to other inspection methods are;
  • IRIS can be applied on almost each material
  • Exact determination of location of pitting/corrosion
  • Small changes in thickness measurable 
  • No negative effect on results caused by external items like fins or baffles
  • Measurement produces nominal value for wall thickness of pipe
  • No calibration pipes needed
  • IRIS can also be used in steamdrums
