Inspection, Measuring, Testing & Marking
May 2009
The number of process cards required has
been reduced by half, and data security
is now virtually guaranteed with the
introduction of a RAID hard-drive backup
system.
An Inspectech ultrasonic skelp monitoring
system was recently commissioned at a
new tube mill in Mexico.
The system was ordered to allow the mill
to inspect strip materials for OCTG to the
latest specifications of API and ISO. Recent
updates to these inspection standards have
generated new enquiries for the strip testing
system.
InspecTech has provided flaw detection
systems for the tubular goods industry,
using eddy current, flux leakage and
ultrasonic technologies in both online
and offline applications for North
American and international markets
since 1977.

Strip and plate inspection systems are
custom designed for material inspections
up to 6.4m wide and 100mm thick, with
operating temperatures up to 200°C.
These ultrasonic systems are suitable for
thickness monitoring, lamination detection
and surface flaw
detections.
Inspectech has
recently updated and
redesigned its skelp
monitoring systems.
The mechanical
system has been
enhanced to allow
every transducer
more positional
adjustment.
The computer-based
electronics have
been re-packaged to
a reduced format by
implementing new back-
plane technologies.
Inspectech Analygas Group, Canada, has
supplied customised NDT solutions for the
tube and pipe industry for over 30 years,
and continues to explore new technologies
and innovations to meet the industry’s
NDT needs.
