Ensure quick and precise ERW Weld Inspection

ERW (Electrical Resistance Welding) pipes are widely used in the Oil & Gas, agriculture, irrigation, engineering and automobiles sectors. Since most applications usually involve transporting volatile liquids, the integrity of the welds should be strong enough to avoid leaks. A variety of welding defects, area defects, and volume defects such as pores and slag inclusions affect the integrity of ERW weld pipes.

Ultrasonic inspection is the primary non-destructive testing technology used to inspect ERW welded pipes. ERW Weld UT Inspection detects flaws and prevents future damage. Therefore, a high detection rate is essential for safe pipeline operation.
