Sonomatic’s data analytics capabilities extend to giving added confidence when an inspection has been a sampling approach or, for some reason, the inspection did not achieve the required coverage.
Where a thickness distribution shows abnormal behaviour, a statistical extrapolation can be used to calculate the minimum in uninspected areas.
The abnormal tail is then isolated, and a curve is fitted to this tail to calculate, based on trend and extending relative to the percentage of the component inspected, the overall minimum thickness. The calculation also generates a probability of the minimum being below any alarm limits defined by the client.
