    Abstract: Methods and systems for a telescopic stick and a data gathering verification system is disclosed. The method includes receiving a schedule for an equipment structure, obtaining parameter data and an ultrasonic transducer (UT) measurement from a telescopic stick, wherein the telescopic stick is configured to generate the UT measurement representing a condition of the equipment structure at an out-of-reach condition monitoring location (CML), and determining a verification assessment, wherein the verification assessment comprises a health report for the equipment structure based on a service acceptable range criterion. The method further includes inputting the UT measurement and parameter data into an artificial intelligence model, producing a degradation prediction from the model, and updating the schedule based on the verification assessment, the degradation prediction, and a service accepted range criterion, wherein the schedule is displayed by a handheld device configured to communicate with the data gathering and verification system.

    Abstract: A telescopic stick for on-stream inspection of an equipment structure is disclosed. The telescopic stick includes telescopic segments, two swivel segments with two swivel joints, a mounting head attached to the swivel segments, an ultrasonic transducer (UT) probe mounted on the mounting head via a spring, and an electromagnetic leg protruding from the mounting head and adjacent to the UT probe, where an extended length of the telescopic segments exceeds human reach to allow a user accessing an out-of-reach condition monitoring location (CML) on the equipment structure, where the electromagnetic leg, when energized, engages the UT probe against the spring onto a ferro-magnetic surface of the equipment structure at the out-of-reach CML, where the engaged UT probe generates an UT measurement representing a condition of the equipment structure at the out-of-reach CML.
