Presenters: C. Sean Riccardelli is an ASNT Certified NDT Level III and at the forefront of the non-destructive inspection technology trend: phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT). He’s spent the past nine years positioning his company, RCS, to influence an industry shift toward Phased Array ultrasonic evaluation and characterization of in-service pipeline threats. Riccardelli began his career in 1994 as a structural steel inspector. He quickly achieved certification as an ICC Certified Special Inspector and AWS Certified Welding Inspector. Throughout his 22-year career, Sean has developed a reputation for ultrasonic credibility, having spent 10 years complimenting the structural and seismic arenas; the most recent 12 years with oil and gas pipelines specializing in the evaluation and mitigation of pipeline threats. Sean is a former U.S. Marine, attended Boise State University, and lives with his wife and three children in Utah. Jeff Browning is the Director of Advanced NDE Services for RCS and is responsible for the research, development and deployment of Advanced NDE Technologies throughout the country. Mr. Browning is an expert in non-destructive weld inspection, validation of pipeline defects, and phased array data acquisition and analysis. Many of his industry colleagues consider him an artist in his craft of crack sizing and weld defect characterization.
His phased array data analysis and presentation of defect imaging is revered by many as the best in the world and has motivated the majority of his customers to make this technology their standard for advanced technical evaluation of their assets. Jeff has partnered with suppliers to design and customize technology deployment systems and sensor configurations in an effort to increase the quality of data collection techniques. He is now recognized as an industry leader in advanced NDE services within the midstream and utility sectors by clients, colleagues, and peers including members of Pipeline Research Council International and American Petroleum Institute. Jeff is a former U.S. Marine and lives with his wife and three children in Mississippi.
