Automated Test Systems Gantry Type
inspection of pipes, tubes and bars
We manufacture Automated UT test systems through our sister concern of Mayuresh Engineers.
AUTOMATED ULTRASONIC INSPECTION.
DIAMETER PIPE RANGE - FROM 60 MM TO 920 MM
Features
-
Possible inspection with Phased array transducers.
-
High level of defects detectability.
-
Automatic calibration procedure available .
-
Short untested ends.
-
Scalability. Optionaly multiple acoustic blocks and carriages can be installed to increase throughput or the variety of detectable defect types.
-
The test system can be equipped with additional inspection methods: eddy-current, MFL and other depending on the test requirements.
-
Detailed and informative inspection results - defect locations are automatically marked on the pipe based on the inspection outcome, and the system generates a comprehensive, detailed inspection report for each pipe.
Test objects
-
Oil-grade pipes according to API SC T and SL standards
-
Seamless and welded pipes
-
Boiler tubes
-
Round section bars and tubes
Typical Equipment Setup
-
Gantry-type ultrasonic test system for inspection of pipe body and ends, designed to detect longitudinal, transverse, inclined (22°, 45°, 67°) defects on outer and inner pipe walls, laminations, and to measure wall thickness using phased array (PA) technology.
-
Operator workstation for monitoring and controlling the inspection process.
-
Defect marking unit for automatic marking of detected defects.
-
Closed-loop water preparation and supply system.
-
Set of standard reference blocks (SRB / Calibration Blocks) manufactured from customer material; quantity and design defined during engineering phase.
-
Three-position transportation system for moving pipes between inspection and marking stations, or cross-feed system with entry and exit roller tables.
Application
-
The gantry-type automated test system for high-speed ultrasonic inspection (AUT) of round-section tubes and pipes made of various steel grades with diameters ranging from 60 mm to 920 mm.
Types of defects
-
Pipes and tubes inspection: Detection of longitudinal and transverse defects relative to the pipe axis, as well as oblique defects. Furthermore, lamination control and wall thickness measurement are performed.
-
Bars inspection: 100% cross-sectional inspection of the bar for internal defects.
Length of Untested End Sections
-
Longitudinal defects: not more than 10 mm
-
Laminations: not more than 10 mm
-
Wall thickness reduction: not more than 10 mm
-
Transverse defects (both directions): not more than 3× wall thickness
-
Oblique defects: not more than 10 mm of pipe feed into inspection zone
Test Object (Pipe) Parameters
