Your cryogenic insulation needs to be airtight for maximum thermal performance and extended asset life and reduced downtime.
The precision inspection of Cryoperl relies on three in-situ NDE methods:
1. Ultrasound Testing
The inspection method uses high-frequency acoustic pulses to examine insulation layers which produce reflected echoes that show delamination and voids and moisture entry.
The inspection technology provides depth resolution of approximately 0.1 mm through portable handheld probes which deliver real-time results.
The method enables quick inspections to detect bond failures before thermal leaks appear.
2. Infrared Thermography
IR cameras use temperature mapping to detect surface defects and R-value degradation through hotspots and cold spots.
The device provides < 0.1 °C temperature difference detection while offering a broad non-contact survey area.
The inspection method allows technicians to perform walk-around assessments of cryo equipment to identify both cold bridges and frost build-up areas.
3. X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT)
The inspection method uses multiple X-ray scans from different angles to generate a 3D density model of foam cores together with composite layers.
The system provides detailed measurements down to micron levels along with void quantity measurements.
The application includes factory acceptance of complex insulation modules and digital-twin baseline creation.
