• Lixi profiler uses Gd153 radioisotope source on one end of C-arm and the detector will be on the other end.
• When it is placed around pipe, small amount of focused radiation beam penetrates the diameter of the pipe.
• The amount of radiation received by detector is converted to an equivalent steel thickness measurement by the computer module.
• The result will be shown on the computer screen in real time image, which will be used to identify welds, corrosion, blockage, fouling, or variety of other indications commonly found in piping systems.

LIXI PROFILER- APPLICATIONS
![Page 6: Lixi Profiler Presentation-MSA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062314/55cf9a11550346d033a05251/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
LIXI PROFILER - ADVANTAGES
Detect Corrosion – 90% of all corrosion including CUI - on the bottom of the Pipe. Lixi Profiler provides a larger area inspected without removing of Insulation or the
need to Shutdown the Production Productivity is high compared to Profile Radiography or Ultrasonic Thickness
Measurement Easy to operate & Equipment can be Hand Carried from one location to another The Immediate results in Real Time
Work on rechargeable battery and no requirement for local power supply

LIXI PROFILER - LIMITATIONS
A) Not recommended for detection of cracks and pin-holes
B) Can be used only for piping that has both side access
C) Restrict access to establish Safe Working Areas
D) Less sensitive over 30mm equivalent steel penetration thickness

LIXI PROFILER – EFFECT OF SCALE

0.250” Wall Thickness = Profiler Reading of ~ 0.500”
How does the Lixi Profiler Work?
![Page 10: Lixi Profiler Presentation-MSA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062314/55cf9a11550346d033a05251/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Add 4” Insulation = Profiler Reading of ~ 0.620”
![Page 11: Lixi Profiler Presentation-MSA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062314/55cf9a11550346d033a05251/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Add Product = Profiler Reading of ~ 0.843”
![Page 12: Lixi Profiler Presentation-MSA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062314/55cf9a11550346d033a05251/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Add Product = Profiler Reading of ~ 0.843”
However, if a corroded area isscanned over withthe Lixi Profiler, thenthe scan will reflect a loss of density equivalent to the lossof steel.
For example, if a pit of 0.100” is scannedover, the Profiler will show a reduction inthe graph from 0.843”to 0.743.” Assumingthat the insulation and product density have not changed over a short distance,the only cause for a reduction in the graph would be lossfrom the metal pipe.

Left: Profiler oriented perpendicularly over weld. Response is single, high-amplitude peak.
Right: Profiler oriented at an angle while scanning over weld. Result – baseline thickness increases and two lower-amplitude peaks result: one when the detector crosses the top of the weld and one when the source crosses the bottom of the weld.
![Page 15: Lixi Profiler Presentation-MSA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062314/55cf9a11550346d033a05251/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
This slide denotes what a corroded area might look like during an initial scan.
The next slide shows a technique to determine which side of the pipe has the corrosion by orienting the Profiler 90 degrees to the initial scan direction and taking a “slice” from the bottom to the top of the pipe.

Slice scan on the left is through the section of pipe devoid of debris.
The slice scan on the right is through a section of pipe having debris in it. Which direction was this scan taken (top to bottom or bottom to top)?
