Tube failures can lead to unplanned shutdowns, reduced operational efficiency, production losses, and increased maintenance costs. Sonomatic provides advanced tube inspection services that help asset owners assess tube condition, identify degradation mechanisms, and make informed integrity management decisions before failures occur.
Our specialist tube inspection team delivers comprehensive inspection programmes for heat exchangers, boilers, condensers, coolers and other tubular assets.
By combining industry-leading inspection technologies with highly experienced technicians, we provide accurate, reliable data that supports life extension, maintenance planning and risk reduction.
With one of Australia’s largest dedicated tube inspection teams and specialist equipment based in Perth, Brisbane, Gladstone and Darwin, Sonomatic can rapidly mobilise to shutdowns and maintenance campaigns across Australia and internationally.
Standard Eddy Current inspection is one of the most widely used techniques for non-ferromagnetic heat exchanger and condenser tubes. The technique is highly sensitive to corrosion, erosion, pitting, cracking and wall loss, delivering fast and accurate results for large tube bundles.
Advanced Inspection Expertise: Sonomatic combines decades of tube inspection experience with ongoing investment in technology development, equipment manufacturing and inspection innovation.
Rapid Shutdown Support: Our dedicated tube inspection personnel and specialist equipment are strategically located in Perth, enabling rapid mobilisation to maintenance campaigns and shutdown activities throughout Australia.
Comprehensive Reporting: Inspection results are delivered through detailed reporting, allowing operators and integrity engineers to identify degradation mechanisms, prioritise repairs and confidently plan future inspection intervals.
In-House Technology Development: Unlike many service providers, Sonomatic designs, develops and manufactures many of its own tube inspection probes and technologies, providing clients with access to industry-leading inspection solutions and continuous innovation.
