A Modern Approach to Fitness-For-Service (FFS) Assessments
10th of October, 2024
Measurement Solutions is excited to introduce Creaform’s latest NDT software release, VXintegrity 3.0. This innovative platform brings advanced capabilities to assess the integrity of critical infrastructure, particularly within the oil and gas industry. By integrating Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and incorporating API 579 standards, VXintegrity 3.0 provides asset owners with powerful tools to deliver precise fitness-for-service (FFS) evaluations.
Streamlined FEA Integration and API 579 Compliance
Creaform’s VXintegrity 3.0 allows asset owners to conduct Level III FFS assessments faster and more efficiently by exporting a fully prepared FEA model of corroded pipelines. This model can then be sent directly to Creaform’s expert simulation team for comprehensive analysis. With this streamlined process, infrastructure downtime is significantly reduced, offering fast and cost-effective assessments without compromising precision.
The software also supports Level I and II assessments using the API 579 standard, ensuring compliance and simplifying structural integrity evaluations for pressurised components in refineries, chemical plants, and other facilities.
Whether assessing surface corrosion on piping systems, pressure vessels, or storage tanks, VXintegrity 3.0 offers quick, reliable data to guide maintenance decisions and optimise inspection programs.
Revolutionising FFS Evaluations with Creaform’s 3D Scanning Technology
Paired with Creaform’s industry-leading handheld 3D laser scanning solutions, VXintegrity 3.0 elevates the accuracy of burst pressure simulations compared to traditional methods. This enhanced accuracy ensures better asset management by reducing unnecessary repairs and offering more precise planning for inspections. Asset owners now have a turnkey solution to make critical decisions with confidence and reduce downtime.
A Game-Changer for the NDT Industry
According to François Lachance, Product Manager at Creaform, “The enhancements in VXintegrity 3.0, including FEA integration and API 579 compliance, were highly requested by asset owners. This platform will transform the way Level I, II, and III assessments are conducted, significantly reducing costs, downtime, and uncertainty. It’s truly a disruptive solution for the NDT sector.”
By partnering with Creaform, Measurement Solutions continues to provide the latest in 3D measurement technology, delivering advanced solutions across a range of industries.
