Nondestructive Testing (NDT) for Welded Steel Pipes
Date:2025-03-24
Ensuring weld integrity is critical for the reliability of welded steel pipes. Nondestructive testing (NDT) methods detect defects without compromising structural integrity.
-
Ultrasonic Testing (UT): Uses high-frequency sound waves to identify internal flaws.
-
Radiographic Testing (RT): X-ray or gamma-ray inspection provides detailed imaging of weld defects.
-
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT): Detects surface and near-surface cracks in ferromagnetic materials.
-
Eddy Current Testing (ECT): Identifies surface defects using electromagnetic induction.
NDT ensures welded pipes meet quality standards, preventing failures in high-risk applications such as oil and gas pipelines and pressure vessels.
