NDT Experience From O&G For Wind Farms: Alberto Monici Ets Sistemi Industriali SRL Italy

ETS Sistemi Industriali is an Italian company founded in 1996 that provides non-destructive testing (NDT) services including visual, magnetic particle, ultrasonic, and acoustic emission testing. They have extensive experience performing NDT on oil and gas infrastructure and are applying these methods to structural health monitoring of wind turbines. Acoustic emission testing is particularly useful for in-service monitoring as it can detect defects from a distance without direct access and under varying operational stresses like temperature, pressure, and fatigue cycles. They are also experts in helium leak testing to certify components for fugitive emissions compliance.

SHM For Wind Farm ?
Why Acoustic Emission Method rapidly
increase in SHM applications in O&G?
Highlights of acoustic emission

1) In service or during Validation Tests


2) Useful also for Very large structures
3) Low sensibility to geometry
4) Immediate localization with mutiple sensors
5) Possibility to apply differents Stress Factors (T,
P, Corrosion, etc.)

Acoustic Emission (AE) is a well recognized methodolody to detect active defects
and corrosion at initial stage of formation,
also at very long distance when components is under differents types of stresses:
Thermal variation, Pressure,
fatique cycles and so on.

In addition to other informations coming from localized investigation, we


investigate the AE potentiality to detect and correlate the different Corrosion
activities.

Further the Helium Leak Test will be well recognized for the initial stage detection
of leak and certification of tightness under international standards. Valves, Heat
Exchangers, Vessels are in different P-T conditions certified with this methods for
Fugitive Emission, Lifetime, etc.
