Reducing Costs for Operators using

Remotely deployed Inspection Techniques

Focus on Corrosion Assessment Using PEC

TSC Inspection Systems

Corrosion Assessment by Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC)

 TSC now offer subsea corrosion assessment using the

Eddyfi Lyft™ technology
 Applications include Caisson, pipe line, vessel hull, dock
wall, spool corrosion erosion and subsea tanks (MOPU)
 Can assess wall thickness through substantial coating
including fire retardant cladding
 Works though residual marine growth. Often no cleaning
necessary, saving substantial cost
 Can be deployed alongside ACFM® using the same
deployment tooling
 Identifies areas of general corrosion where advanced UT
may be used to identify pit defects
 Resolution to 0.1mm
 Measures average wall thickness under probe
 Takes approx. 1s to take a reading, allows rapid assessment
of large areas such as storage tank wall

The PEC probe holder

 Robust design
 Adjustable lift-off
 Standard ROV attachment with compliant
joint
 Compliant joint limits load on the holder
and allows correct alignment with the
inspection surface
 LED indicator shows when acquisition is
complete

Interface to ROV

 Power 24V 2A
 Ethernet Comms 10-100 Mbit
 Fish Tail or T Bar Manipulator interface
