What is Long Range Ultrasonic Testing?
Long Range Ultrasonic Testing (LRUT) uses guided ultrasonic waves to inspect large sections of pipelines, risers, and structural members in a single setup. It detects corrosion, erosion, and defects under insulation, coatings, and road crossings — without costly excavation or production interruption.
