New ultrasonic testing machine offers faster geometric and wall thickness inspection of seamless tube

摘要

The new ROWA-WT ultrasonic test machine for seamless tube and pipe from GE Measurement & Control now combines high end signal processing with patented phased array (PA) ultrasonic technology. This allows all dimensional and wall thickness measurements to be carried out in compliance with API and EN specifications up to speeds greater than 2 metres/second, dependent on the tube diameter. The compact testing solution is seamlessly integrated into the production line and will boost the productivity of tube mills producing pipe for the oil and gas sector.
