What Is Non Destructive Testing of Steel Pipes?
Why should seamless steel pipes take non-destructive testing?
Seamless steel pipes are the main product in our company. Their production process is rather complex. A finished steel pipe requires many production steps such as metal smelting, hot rolling, and machining. Due to the multiple production processes, there are also many types of defects on the steel pipes. Non destructive testing detects macroscopic defects on the inner, outer, and inner surface of the pipes, thereby ensuring product quality and safe use.
What are the defects of steel pipes?
The main defects of steel pipes include cracks, folds, warping, scratches, transverse cracks, layering, inclusions, etc.
What is non destructive testing of steel pipes?
Scientifically speaking, nondestructive testing technology is a technical discipline based on physics, electronics, mechanics and chemistry. It is an important means to ensure product quality and performance and stabilize production process in many fields of modern industry. Non destructive testing uses the principle of changes in physical properties of materials or products without damaging them to detect the presence of defects, as well as the shape, position, size, and development trend of defects. The abbreviation is often referred to as NDT.
Which industries are the NDT used in?
Non destructive testing is widely used in various fields such as metallurgy, machinery, petroleum, chemical engineering, aviation, and aerospace. It can be said that in the field of modern scientific and technological applications, no technology has such a broad scientific foundation and application fields as non-destructive testing. As one of the fundamental technologies in modern industry, non-destructive testing technology is playing an important role in ensuring product and engineering quality, and its reputation as a "quality guardian" has been widely recognized in the industry.
