Pipeline welds: seen, measured, quantified and approved

摘要

Hugh Oavies discusses how the latest internal weld inspection tools are helping oil and gas companies to verify the quality of risers, fatigue-critical and CRA clad pipes, as well as curved pipes and manifolds. One of the limiting factors in the lifespan of a pipeline is corrosion. Corrosion Resistant Alloy (CRA) clad pipe is becoming increasingly important as a method of preventing corrosion.
