Specializing in Fire Sprinkler and Process Pipe Inspection
Satisfies the Assessment of Internal Condition of Piping on sprinkler systems as required every 5 years under chapter 14 of NFPA 25.
Noninvasive ULGW Assessments Prevent Unnecessary:
Loss of valuable inventory or data
Loss of valuable equipment
Lost time
Lost revenue
Risk to human life
Sonic's Lean and Green Predictive Maintenance Program can help prevent those unfortunate circumstances from happening to you.
All of the situations listed above can result from
a failure of your fire suppression system (FSS), the most critical (and often
overlooked) piping system for any building property, warehouse, or plant operation.
Although failure of cooling system piping rarely poses risk to human life, lost inventory/data, lost equipment, lost time, and lost revenue can have a significant negative financial impact on a company.
Sonic Pipe Inspection's ultrasonic (UT) Predictive Maintenance Program can non-invasively
and accurately scan your pipes with LITTLE to NO impact on your daily operations,
thereby providing you the tools to make an educated decision regarding the
condition of your system and helping you prevent a catastrophic failure.
Think you don’t have a problem? Neither did the company whose pipe is shown here. The pipe looks
pristine from the outside but the inside tells a very different story. Water
tests, pressure tests, or external visual inspection are not sufficient inspection techniques
for this critical system.
Pipes are often considered relatively trouble free, but
corrosion related failures at fire sprinkler lines have dramatically increased
over the past decade due to prolonged deterioration of older systems and
inferior materials used in newer pipe. The fact is that ALL metallic pipes
corrode.
Our patented scanning equipment uses a Nondestructive Ultrasonic Technology that can detect corrosion buildup, wall thinning, velocity erosion, pitting, ice
plugs, water pockets left in a dry system, or air pockets trapped in a wet
system…all at a significantly
Lower cost and higher level of detail
that is unavailable from any other pipe inspection service.
Best of all, we quietly perform our scans
while leaving your system fully operational so you can conduct business as usual.
Sonic Pipe Inspection’s highly detailed
reports will show you exactly where your problem areas reside with a color
coded map of the scan points for your system, quantitative and qualitative data with actual
scan signatures for each scan point, and reference marks on your pipe showing
the exact location of each reading.
With
this level of detail, you will have
the precise data needed to know exactly which sections of pipe are in
need of
further attention and which sections are in good working order, helping
prevent failure of your piping system(s), and ultimately saving your company
money and possibly even lives.
