X-ray based weld inspection helps to assure quality in Pipe&Vessel Construction.
The detection of irregularities in welded seams is indispensable for quality assurance in the production of pipes and vessels, whether for steel, aluminum or special alloys. Pore cells, bonding defects and an insufficient number of welding points are only a few of the defects to be recognized in welds in compliance with ISO 6520.
Welded connections in pipes in use must be inspected regularly, especially those in the petrochemical industry. X-ray technology has played a significant role in the field of weld inspection for quite some time, whereby the demands placed on appropriate solutions for weld inspection in production or on-site deployment are different.
