Onshore Pipeline

Onshore pipeline construction is where automated ultrasonic testing shines. Mainline girth welds have to be inspected as fast as they're made — increasingly to alternative acceptance criteria that demand flaw sizing. The automated ultrasonic systems RAE distributes make that possible: encoded, weld-by-weld records captured in minutes, with no radiation exclusion zone to stop adjacent crews.

What RAE technology brings to the right-of-way

• Matrix UT & UT Scan (AUT) for production-speed girth-weld inspection, and EdgeFlex X-ray (RT) where radiography is specified.
• Automated scanning for consistent, safer data capture.
• Clean, encoded data for audit and analysis.

The NDT companies that serve onshore pipeline operators deploy these systems on their projects.
