SURFACE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT MODERNIZED

With its prominent expertise and credibility earned in the field of metrology, Creaform has developed disruptive solutions for surface damage assessment that are now accessible to all NDT industries.

PIPELINE

The NDT Pipeline Inspection Module delivers accurate results and in-depth analyses directly onsite, enabling pipeline owners to establish valid diagnoses and quickly make appropriate repair decisions. This allows them to stick to their budget and schedule, ensure employee safety, and maintain public health and trust.

Data analysis and report generation directly onsite,
allowing for rapid decision-making
Peace of mind through accurate, repeatable, and traceable results
Reduced latency, as pipes are reburied more quickly
Ability to conserve data over time, making it possible
To compare damage evolution
Prevention of environmental catastrophe

VXintegrity NDT Software Platform

Composed of four software modules designed specifically for the NDT industries, VXintegrity combines NDT knowledge and market intelligence to raise the quality of analysis and reporting to a higher level.

AEROSPACE

The NDT Surface Inspection Module is the first dedicated 3D visualization software designed for aircraft assessment and the characterization of dent damage on aircraft surfaces. More accurate and faster than traditional methods, the software module limits the operators' impact on measurements and shortens the time needed to generate final reports, providing OEMs with comprehensive data on issues that require further analysis.

Operator-independent measurements
Algorithm sensitive to the finest detail
Interaction rule optimized for aerospace, facilitating communication on the extent of damage
Defect characterization on different aircraft components, sizes, and surface finishes
Guided workflow approach that simplifies the measurement extraction of 3D scan data and obtains the exact dimensions required for the assessment

SURFACE DAMAGE

The Surface Damage Inspection Module delivers absolute measurements of thickness loss—with no possibility of human error—on curved and complex geometries that plant owners can fully trust when deciding to shut down their plant or refinery for maintenance work.

Highest accuracy on digital reconstruction
Technician-independent measurements free from human error at the acquisition stage
Versatile measurement method for all geometry types, such as spheres, cylindrical heads, tank floors, etc.
Polyvalent surface damage assessment approach for all types of mechanical damages, such as corrosion, dent, and gouge
Ability to export inspection results into CSV or STL files for further evaluation

DAMAGE MONITORING

The Monitoring Module enables asset owners to enter the digital age confidently. It is the only NDT technique available on the market with the required accuracy, noise level, and data quality to characterize, follow, and compare damage evolution over time—detecting even the slightest variation in geometry or thickness.

Calculation of wear, corrosion, and erosion rates, as well as deformation, alignment, and ovality
Advanced and automatic report generation
Easy-to-use metrology tool kit, optimized for industrial maintenance applications
Ability to export inspection results into CSV or STL files for further evaluation

HOW TO LEVERAGE 3D SCANNING FOR EXTERNAL CORROSION INSPECTIONS

NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) teams in the oil and gas industry often face challenges when inspecting complex geometries, as traditional methods often do not capture intricate details or maintain accuracy across non-uniform surfaces. However, more contemporary technologies are helping the NDT sector overcome these challenges more efficiently and effectively.

VXintegrity Functionality Overview

VXintegrityTM is a powerful NDT software platform that integrates all analytical functions and tools into an intuitive, user-friendly working environment. Composed of four software modules designed specifically for the NDT industries, VXintegrity combines NDT knowledge and market intelligence to raise the quality of analysis and reporting to a higher level. Creaform 3D scanners bundled with VXintegrity form the only technique available on the market that offers metrology-grade accuracy, traceable data over time, as well as human-independent results that eliminate measurement variations and ambiguity in result interpretation.

The economic impact of digging areas in which no critical repairs are needed and omitting areas where potential failures could abruptly occur depends on one factor: the performance of in-line inspection (ILI) techniques.

Measuring corrosion on pressure vessels, spheres, nozzles, or anything else with complex geometry and multi-radius bending remains laborious for plant owners.

Since most of the infrastructure was built in the 60s and 70s, refineries and power plants (both nuclear and hydroelectric) are now aging. Because it is impossible to repair all the machinery as damages occur, asset owners must manage the risk of problematic infrastructure.
