Acoustic Pulse Reflectometry (APR) Inspection System
Arise Global’s patented Acoustic Pulse Reflectometry Inspection System (APRIS), is a novel and innovative tube inspection tool for heat exchangers & boilers, delivering unmatched advantages of:
- Inspects tubes from 7 mm ID to 125 mm ID
- Each tube inspected within 10 seconds
- Non-Invasive tube inspection (no moving probe)
- Tube type independent (straight/U-tube/fin fan tube/spiral tubes/twisted tube)
- Material independent (ferrous/non-ferrous, composite, ceramic etc.)
- Self-calibrating technology (no reference tubes)
Tube Defects detected:
Through wall pin holes (0.5 mm and above), Pitting, tube end erosion, blockages/fouling
How It Works?
Acoustic Pulse Reflectometry (APR) is an acoustic wave technology. An incident acoustic wave from one end of tube detects changes in the tube cross-section as well as signal loss due to leaks from reflected acoustic wave. These reflections are acquired and analysed to generate tube inspection report with location and size of individual defects.
Typical Applications
APRIS provides efficient and effective tube inspection services to:
- Utility/co-gen power plants
- Chemical/petrochemical plants
- Upstream & downstream oil & gas assets
- Metals & mineral industry
- Life sciences, F& B industries (low footprint/sterile applications)
- HVAC installations
