Advanced Ultrasonic Inspection
Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT)
High-speed computerized girth weld inspection for long-distance oil & gas pipelines.
Technical Overview
Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) has replaced conventional radiography as the global standard for girth weld inspection during pipeline construction. Utilizing motorized band crawlers and multi-element probe arrays, AUT delivers instant zero-subjective defect sizing and full digital traceability.
Code Compliance & Standards:
ASME Section V Article 4 API 1104 Appendix A ISO 13588 / DNV-ST-F101
Key Advantages & Capabilities
Rapid scan speeds (complete 36-inch pipe weld scan in under 3 minutes)
Precise flaw depth, height, and circumferential position measurement
Independent of weather conditions and zero radiation safety hazard
Immediate pass/fail determination based on ECA (Engineering Critical Assessment) acceptance criteria
