The inspection was carried out from the outlet part. Rows ran from Top to Bottom and Columns were
numbered from Left to Right.
Test Limitations
• Cleaning required for successful leak (hole) detection is according to Swedish SA 1 or SSPC-SP 7/NACE
No.4 standard. Light blast cleaning. Loose mill scale, rust and foreign matter should be removed.
Usually standard air blasting without hydro jetting is sufficient. To enable adequate leak (hole)
detection, a defect should have a minimum diameter of 0.5mm (0.019685”).
• Tubes must be cleaned to Swedish SA 2 or SSPC-SP 14/NACE No.8 standard for successful ID wall loss
detection. Any deposit that remains on the bore of the tubes could cover the inner tube wall and hide
all defects that might be under it. The acoustic wave reflections could be miscalculated or in the worst
case, defects may remain undetected. To enable adequate wall loss detection, a defect has to have a
minimum diameter of 4.75mm (3/16”) - ASME standard pit.
• Blockage detection can be carried out without any prior cleaning.
• Defect sizing tolerance shall be ±10%, according to ASME Section V, Article 18 (ASME BPVC.V-2015).

In APR specially formed pulses are sent into the air inside the tube. Any change in the tube or pipe inner
cross section will create a reflection that will travel back to the beginning of the tube, and will be recorded
by the Sonic V microphones.
These reflections are carrying valuable information: defects type, location and size data can be extracted
by analysis of acquired signals.
APR can be used to inspect tubes of any material (ferromagnetic, non-ferromagnetic, plastic, glass and
ceramic) and shape (straight, U-tubes, fin fan tubes, spiral and coil) with inner diameter between 6mm
and 50mm.
Figure 1 shows what reflections from typical defects - through wall hole (TWH), local blockage and local
wall loss (pitting) look like.
