Smart Mobile Workstation Used to Transmit Data for Non-Destructive Testing of Pipelines Welded Joints

Abstract:

The non-destructive control of the welded joint in the case of transport pipelines of oil substances raises major problems by the difficulty of identifying the welded joints once the pipeline is imbedded. This paper presents the results of the research that were obtained by using a mobile station for digital radiography which, by GPS systems identifies all welded beads within a gas pipeline. By the technique that is presented in this paper, the process of control is more efficient, by using the modern technique of digital gammagraphy, with the possibility of transmitting real-time data on the field using the informatics system. This study presents the methodology and advantages of using the mobile intelligent testing system ND made by Receptor GR-3 and Controller TOPCON FC 250.
