ULTRATUBE overview
MAIN ADVANTAGES OF EQUIPMENT
Testing of the pipe body (around the perimeter) for the the longitudinal, transverse flaws, laminations, as well as ultrasonic thickness measurements and flaws of inclined orientation.
- Testing of the pipe ends areas for the the longitudinal, transverse flaws, laminations, as well as ultrasonic thickness measurements and flaws of inclined orientation;
- The Equipment provides the testing by using of conventional piezoelectric probes as well as by using of Phased arrays.
- Independent testing of the weld andpipr ends areas for longitudinal, transverse flaws, laminations, sa well as ultrasonic thickness measurements and flaws of inclined orientation;
- Automatic calibration of the Equipment in line, with automatic loading and unloading of calibration block.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EQUIPMENT
|

QUALITY ASSESSMENT
Quolity assessment is carried out according to the following standards API 5L, API 5CT, GOST R 52079, GOST14782-86, GOST R 53366, ISO 11960, ISO 3183, DNV-OS-F101, Shell Technical Specification, as well as according to the specification of Exxon Mobil.
EQUIPMENT CALIBRATION
With the Equipment you can automatically carry out the regular calibration according to the calibration block.
Two types of calibration are available:
according to the small-size calibration block – in this case the calibration can be automatically carried out before and after the pipe testing with creation of the calibration results. If the calibration is unsuccessful, the equipment will automatically stop the pipe testing and give warning of necessity to adjustment.
according to the full-size of the pipe with artificial flaws in the processing line.

TYPES OF EQUIPMENT EMBODIMENT
- Bridge-type - the pipe rotates during testing on the reversible rollers, the measuring unit moves along the pipe scanning its perimeter. The longitudinal (progressive) and transverse loading/unloading of the pipe in the testing zone.
SHOW 3-D EQUIPMENT OF BRIDGE-TYPE
- Statiionary type - the pipe moves revolute translational through the testing zone. In this case a fixed measuring unit scans the pipe during its transportation through the testing zone.
NDT ELECTRONICS
 |
Equipment is mounted in the tight construction with protection class IP 67 according to the international standard IEC 60529 as well as DIN 40050, GOST 14254-96. Besides it provides the full electromagnetic compatibility with the Buyer's equipment.
Electronics unit can contain up to 32 straight channels (without commutation). The new electronic unit does not have a cooling liquid and consumes 8 times less power than the equipment of competing firms, so it provides the efficiency and reliability of non-destructive testing. |
