Non destructive measurement of alloy ingress into industrial infrastructure where alloy is used as a leak sealant

Rawwater正在商业化其独特的泄漏和缺陷密封技术。商业化的剩余障碍之一是控制材料从维修现场进入系统。对于许多应用程序来说，这是不可取的。NPL拥有广泛的知识和获得无损检测（NDT）的设备。拟议的项目将测试NDT方法，用于有限数量的“典型”泄漏修复，以评估NDT是否能够识别是否有任何侵入。实现无损检测方法至关重要的原因是，唯一的其他测量方法是破坏性的，这要么涉及改变最终状态，可能破坏任何进入，因此不能提供准确的信息，要么物理破坏每个测试件，这不是商业或环境上可行的选择。目标是确定实验室分析的无损检测选项，允许Rawwater控制参数以减少/消除侵入，并探索在现场使用该技术的潜力，为客户提供密封后分析，以证明没有发生侵入。

Rawwater is commercialising its unique leak and defect sealing technologies. One of the remaining hurdles to commercialisation is control of material ingress through the repair site and into the system. For many applications, this is undesirable. NPL have a vast range of knowledge and access to equipment for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). The proposed project would be to test NDT options for a limited number of 'typical' leaks repairs to assess whether NDT will be able to identify if there is any ingress. The reason that it is so crucial to achieve an NDT method is that the only other way of measuring is destructively which either involves changing the end state, potentially disrupting any ingress and therefore not providing accurate information or physically destroying each test piece, which is not a commercially or environmentally viable option.The target is to identify NDT options for laboratory analysis, to allow Rawwater to control parameters to reduce/remove ingress and explore the potential to use this in the field to provide customers with a post seal analysis to prove ingress has not occurred.
