All-in-One Nondestructive Inspection
Solution for ERW Tubes
Olympus offers a phased array solution for full-body inspection of ERW pipes that includes an independent weld seam and
heat-affected zone (HAZ) inspection feature.
Fully compliant with the latest API requirements for P110 and Q125 grades
Full-body inspection provides
high resolution wall thickness
mapping of the pipe to
identify the weld position from
an absolute reference and
the weld deviation over the
complete pipe length.
Wall thickness mapping
data is used to automatically
position the weld seam
prior to the inspection and
automatically adjust the
phased array probes to
compensate for weld deviation
during the inspection.
Optimized weld seam
inspection can detect up
to 1/32 in. through drilled
holes created by large
phased array curved probes,
covering a wide sector with
homogeneous amplitude.
EOT BODY HAZ
Wall thickness mapping views
can be used to automatically
discriminate between
specific pipe zones to apply
independent criteria and reject
different-sized defects in each
zone.
