Defect detection in seamless pipes is crucial for safety and reliability in critical applications.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Techniques:
-
Ultrasonic Testing (UT): Identifies internal flaws such as inclusions and laminations.
-
Eddy Current Testing (ECT): Detects surface and near-surface defects, ideal for thin-walled pipes.
-
Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL): Used for pipeline integrity assessment.
Advanced Inspection Methods:
-
Phased Array UT: Provides high-resolution imaging of subsurface defects.
-
Automated Laser Scanning: Measures wall thickness variations.
Industries Requiring Strict Testing:
-
Aerospace hydraulic tubing.
-
High-pressure gas pipelines.
