Refractory Vessel Damage - Corrosion Inspection
- Many refractory lining conditions cannot be evaluated by ultrasound (UT) or radiographic testing (RT).
- Manual corrosion inspection requires staging, scaffolding and proper confined space entry precautions.
- Non-destructive testing (NDT), remote visual inspection (RVI) can be used to obtain refractory condition assessment to prioritize internal corrosion inspection and repair execution to expedite turnaround resources.
