Guided Wave UT (LRUT) — Long-Range Pipeline Decoded

long-range guided wave UT for buried + insulated + elevated pipeline screening per ISO 18211. ASNT NDT Level III + Atlantis NDT expert authored. Refining, petrochem, marine, aerospace, power, mining, LNG, offshore wind, hydrogen, CCS — global delivery.

Method Foundation

long-range guided wave UT for buried + insulated + elevated pipeline screening per ISO 18211. Physics-grounded, code-aligned, ASNT NDT Level III led.

Equipment + Calibration

Instrument selection, reference standards, calibration cadence per the relevant ASTM/ISO/ASME standard.

Acceptance Criteria

Defect classification + sizing + acceptance limits per construction + in-service codes. Free Atlantis NDT consultation.

Atlantis NDT Stack

Atlantis NDT ERP + Atlantis Digital Twin platform + NDT reporting software integrated for this method. Audit-ready bundle. Free demo.

Construction-Code + In-Service-Code Crosswalk

Identify the governing product, construction or in-service requirements and their adopted editions. Record which examination and acceptance references they invoke; do not assume that standards from different applications are interchangeable.

Mandatory vs Non-Mandatory Appendices

Check the status of annexes, appendices and referenced documents in the applicable edition. Resolve proposed departures through the authority responsible for the work; the route depends on the governing requirements.

Inspector Qualification + Method Authorisation

Confirm the personnel qualification and authorisation requirements invoked for this work. Record who performs the examination, who reviews the results and who has authority to decide disposition. These responsibilities are not identical in every scheme.

Acceptance Criteria + Defect Disposition Decision Tree

Describe each indication using the characteristics required by the examination procedure. Apply the specified acceptance rules within the authorised scope and refer unresolved findings to the responsible technical authority.

Common Audit Findings + Atlantis NDT Procedure Pack

For the review, retain the applicable procedure revision, personnel authorisation, equipment checks, location references and examination results. Ask the customer which additional evidence and approvals the contract requires.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How are these records kept audit-ready?

A: Every inspection, procedure revision, inspector qualification record and calibration certificate is timestamped with reviewer approval recorded in Atlantis NDT ERP, and kept for the period the governing code, regulator or client requires. That is the evidence an ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 17020 or ISO/IEC 17025 auditor asks to see.

Q2: When should we use PAUT vs TOFD vs conventional UT?

PAUT, TOFD and conventional UT have different capabilities and coverage limits. Select the arrangement for the expected flaw, material, geometry and access, and demonstrate the required performance under the approved procedure.

Q3: 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.

Q4: 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.

Q5: 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.

Q6: 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.

Q7: 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.

For the people managing everyone else’s certifications

Tracking one certification is easy; tracking two hundred across five methods, with vision exams, on-the-job hours and client-specific approvals, is where inspection companies lose client audits. Certification tracking and the wider inspection management software guide cover how expiry warnings flag a technician’s certificate before it lapses and how double-booking is blocked at dispatch. There is also a free qualification and calibration register you can start using today.
