Fiber Optic Distributed Temperature Sensing

Fiber Optic Distributed Temperature Sensing

fiber-optic DTS for pipeline + tank + offshore platform monitoring. ASNT NDT Level III + Atlantis NDT expert authored. Refining, petrochem, marine, aerospace, power, mining, LNG, offshore wind, hydrogen, CCS — global delivery.

Use Case

fiber-optic DTS for pipeline + tank + offshore platform monitoring. Extends inspection coverage + reduces labor cost + improves data quality.

Atlantis Integration

Atlantis NDT ERP + Atlantis Digital Twin platform ingests offline mobile + IoT + drone data + overlays on 3D asset.

Architecture

Cloud + edge + on-device — choose based on connectivity, security, integration scope.

Free Demo

Free 30-min consultation + custom-demo with your actual data + workflow.

Use Case + Field Application

This technology extends inspector reach + improves data quality + reduces labor cost on high-risk + hard-access assets. Field applications include: offshore platform topside + jacket inspection, refinery + petrochem column + furnace + heat-exchanger inspection, marine FPSO + drydock + jackup inspection, aerospace fastener-hole + lap-joint inspection, power-gen boiler + HRSG + condenser inspection. Atlantis NDT integrates the technology output into our 3D digital twin (visualise here) for change-tracking.

Data Pipeline + Cloud + Edge Architecture

Edge AI option: on-device ML defect-classifier per ASTM E2491 + ASME PCC-3 + IACS Rec-20 model-validation framework — bias-mitigated, repeatable, reproducible.

Code Alignment + Regulatory Acceptance Pathway

Automation needs a documented scope, representative performance evidence and an agreed review process. Confirm whether the governing examination requirements permit the proposed technique. A software feature or general risk-planning standard does not establish code acceptance.

Atlantis NDT Integration + Free Demo

For technology-generated data, demonstrate how the proposed workflow imports, identifies, reviews and exports a representative result. Confirm configuration and interface requirements before treating a connection as available.

Damage Mechanisms (API 571 Cross-Reference)

API RP 571 enumerates damage mechanisms in refining + petrochem service. For marine + offshore, the dominant mechanisms include: sulfidation (API 571 §4.4.2), naphthenic-acid corrosion (§4.4.6), high-temp H2 attack / HTHA (§4.5.1), amine-stress corrosion (§4.5.4), sour-water cracking (§5.1.3), CUI / corrosion-under-insulation (§4.3.4), MIC / microbiologically-influenced corrosion (§4.3.8), erosion-corrosion (§4.2.14), and chloride stress corrosion of austenitic SS (§4.5.1.4). Atlantis NDT Level III consulting (consult here) maps each circuit to its dominant mechanism + recommends method.

RBI per API 581 — Risk-Driver Decomposition

RBI per API RP 581 decomposes consequence + likelihood for marine + offshore equipment: (1) Generic Failure Frequency (gff) by component class; (2) Damage Factor (DF) per active mechanism; (3) Inspection Effectiveness Factor (A-E) based on prior inspection thoroughness; (4) Consequence — Financial + Safety + Environmental.Atlantis ERP for live data.

FFS per API 579 — When + Why

Where findings require engineering assessment, the responsible integrity team must define the assessment scope, necessary measurements and applicable methodology. Atlantis NDT can discuss examination evidence; it does not provide an engineering fitness-for-service assessment.

Atlantis NDT Stack Configuration for marine + offshore

Atlantis NDT delivers integrated stack for marine + offshore operators: Atlantis ERP (NDT reports, technician certificates, crew dispatch and equipment calibration), Digital Twin platform (3D asset model with overlaid damage-mechanism heat-map), Reporting Software (offline mobile capture with code-aligned templates), and Atlantis NDT LMS (continuous inspector cert refresh per marine + offshore-specific scope). Affordable, accessible, fully customizable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How fast can Atlantis mobilise globally?

Confirm onsite availability, remote support, personnel responsibilities and turnaround in the proposal. Delivery arrangements depend on the examination scope and location.

Q2: How does AI-assisted defect detection get code acceptance?

Automation needs a documented scope, representative performance evidence and an agreed review process. Confirm whether the governing examination requirements permit the proposed technique. A software feature or general risk-planning standard does not establish code acceptance.

Q3: What is the typical implementation timeline?

Implementation time depends on the agreed configuration, data preparation, interfaces and acceptance tests. Confirm milestones and responsibilities in the proposal.

Q4: Does Atlantis NDT publish pricing?

Pricing depends on region, scope, delivery arrangements and team size. Request a proposal that identifies what is included, what needs configuration and the support provided.

Q5: How does Atlantis integrate with our existing stack?

A: Atlantis ERP has an open REST API, so it connects to SAP, Maximo, NetSuite or any other system that accepts API connections; each integration is scoped with you during implementation. Free integration scoping consultation.

Q6: How do I start?

A: Request a free 30-min consultation at /contact. We reply within one business day. We scope your asset class + damage mechanisms + code requirements + delivery model preference + integration needs in a single call.
