Canadian Natural Resources：在没有起重机可用的情况下用无人机对烟囱进行超声波测厚
2023年，CNRL 在艾伯塔省北部一处设施的烟囱上试验了基于无人机的 UT 测厚。无需起重机或拆除保温层，作业不到一小时完成。探头为原型机，仅测量了四个点，未报告成本。
| 业主 | Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL) |
| 服务商 | Osprey Integrity |
| 地点 | Northern Alberta, Canada |
| 机型 | Flyability Elios 3 with prototype UT payload |
| 传感器 | ultrasonic thickness (UT) probe, camera |
引入前
先用起重机或高空作业平台将保温工吊起拆除保温层，再将 UT 技术员吊起进行测量，然后恢复保温层。
引入无人机后
一架配备 UT 的无人机从加热的掩体中起飞，在烟囱的四个方位采集读数。
成果
| 指标 | 数值 | 依据 |
|---|---|---|
| process time | under 60 minutes in total | 报告值 |
| equipment | no crane or MEWP needed; no work at height | 报告值 |
| cost / downtime | not reported | 报告值 |
注意事项与局限
- Manufacturer case study; the probe was a pre-production prototype.
- Only four measurement points were taken, far fewer than a full thickness survey.
- No cost data or discussion of unsuitable conditions.
