On-Stream Inspection (OSI)
On-Stream Inspection (OSI) Fields of application
On-stream inspection (OSI) by means of radiographic testing, allows verification of the residual wall thickness. Erosion or corrosion spots can be determined by evaluation of digital image files or analog X-ray films.
This method can also be applied for the production of overview images (the so-called shadow images) for the detection of installations or add-ons in areas which are not visible.
The on-stream inspection is mainly applied in chemical installations and refineries.
