OpenVision RTR X-Ray Systems.

Reduce CUI Inspection Costs by 30%

Screen insulated piping for corrosion indicators without removing cladding or insulation. OpenVision™ x-ray systems are real-time radiographic (RTR) systems that help CUI inspectors detect corrosion under insulation (CUI) quickly and clearly.

With OpenVision, you can screen up to 60 times faster than traditional methods and detect external defects as small as 0.010 inch (250 μm). This qualitative screening approach helps you identify CUI early, prioritize quantitative inspections, and reduce overall inspection costs by 20–30%.

Industry leaders in refineries, petrochemical plants, offshore platforms, power plants, and chemical processing facilities rely on OpenVision as part of their RBI programs.

    Detect CUI Early Without Stripping Insulation

    CUI inspectors use OpenVision RTR x-ray systems to screen insulated piping for corrosion indicators without removing cladding or insulation. Live x-ray video reveals signs of pitting, scaling, external wall loss, and wet insulation during active screening. By detecting these indicators early, asset integrity teams can shift CUI management from a reactive emergency response to proactive planning. With more time to plan, teams can schedule repairs during maintenance windows instead of reacting to costly shutdowns in refineries, petrochemical plants, and offshore facilities.

    Screen 60x Faster. Never Miss Hidden CUI Again.

    Traditional CUI inspection methods rely on small sample areas and surface walkthroughs, leaving most piping systems unchecked and potential CUI issues undetected.

    With OpenVision RTR x-ray systems, technicians can screen hundreds of feet of insulated piping in a single shift at approximately 30 seconds per foot (0.30 m). This speed, up to 60 times faster than quantitative methods, makes comprehensive assessment economically viable and significantly improves the probability of detecting CUI before it compromises structural integrity.

    Confirm CUI Risk with Accurate Visual Data

    Asset integrity managers face a constant challenge: identifying which insulated piping is fit for service, and which requires maintenance, without unnecessary insulation removal. OpenVision provides accurate visual data needed to make these decisions confidently.

    High-definition videos and images show CUI indicators as small as 0.010 inch (250 µm) with precise location detail, revealing corrosion that surface walkthroughs often miss when piping appears sound. This visual inspection data helps you prioritize maintenance, plan repairs based on clear evidence, and avoid unnecessary insulation removal.

    With consistent grading and traceable image records, it's easier to meet PHMSA requirements, justify inspection decisions across large piping systems, and control CUI management costs within your RBI strategy.

    Screen for CUI Without Shutting Down

    Conventional radiography disrupts production by creating large exclusion zones and forcing inspections during costly shutdowns or after-hours windows. OpenVision solves this. It uses low-energy, highly collimated X-rays and internal shielding to minimize radiation exposure and confine the radiation footprint to just a few feet (about 1 meter).

    This lets radiographers screen insulated piping during normal plant operations without disrupting revenue-generating production or tripping tank-mounted radiation alarms. Follow-up inspections can be scheduled during maintenance windows, enabling 24/7 workflows that increase coverage, lower labor costs, and protect production revenue.
