Fatigue is the weakening of a material caused by repeatedly applied loads. It is the progressive and localised structural damage that occurs when a material is subjected to repeated loading and unloading. If the loads are above a certain threshold, microscopic cracks will begin to form. Eventually a crack will reach a critical size, and the structure will fracture. Abfad’s Weld Seam Monitoring System monitors a structures vital welds and acts as an early warning indicator, allowing operators to investigate before a catastrophic failure of the structure occurs. Any structure which suffers the potential for stress and fatigue will benefit from Weld Seam Monitoring. This could be wind turbines, bridges, pressure vessel external welds, and any structure that is subjected to cyclic loading.

A non-invasive, compact ultrasound sensor for the continuous monitoring of corrosion and erosion. With its low-profile size and flexibility, the Belenus can be fitted to a range of structures including pipes, storage tanks and pressure vessels, enabling 24/7 asset monitoring. Suitable for fixed installation in both extreme and ambient environments, the Belenus is the world’s first corrosion monitoring sensor that can operate completely soaked in high-temperature atmospheres up to 400°C (752°F) for extended periods of time. The Belenus provides real-time, asset integrity data, enabling operators to proactively manage corrosion risk, make data-informed decisions and reduce the overall cost of operations. Via a cloud-based system, the Novosound Nebula, plant operators can access inspection data remotely - anytime, anywhere. This allows analysis of key asset integrity data across a range of locations, informing key operational decisions.
