Nondestructive inspection is an integral part of pipe production.Nondestructive testing (NDT) uses methods like X-ray or ultrasound to detect defects without damaging the material. For welded pipes with steel grade ≥L210/A and diameter ≥60.3 mm, 100% NDT is required on welds and strip/plate butt joints in SSAW pipes.
Every plate is ultrasonically checked for its internal soundness in accordance with customer's specification or mill's standard. This device can inspect the whole volume of the plate at high sensitivity.
