Bottom line: NDT is the primary means to find, size, and monitor defects in pipelines without taking them out of service, enabling risk-based decisions that prevent leaks and ruptures. I.I Purpose — ...

I.1 Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) in pipeline construction verifies the integrity of girth welds, pipe body, and coatings without harming the asset, preventing defects from entering service and ...

Film radiography is often used for welding inspection in offshore and onshore pipe laying, and for checking the reliability of defect detection using ultrasonic testing. However, it can be slow and ...

The digitization of X-Ray technology is expanding in the field of NDT inspection, which enables many manual inspection tasks to be fully automated. This offers a significant boost in efficiency and ...
