In oil, gas, chemical, and refining operations, pipeline integrity under extreme pressures and corrosive chemistries is paramount to continuous operational safety.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Protocols
Fabricated pipe spools and weld joints undergo rigorous multi-method NDT evaluations, including Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), radiographic X-ray imaging, and magnetic particle inspection to detect any sub-surface inclusions or weld seam voids.
Hydrostatic and Pneumatic Proof Testing
Prior to coating and shipment, each spool assembly is subjected to hydrostatic proof tests at 1.5 times the design working pressure. Digital pressure transducers record continuous holding charts to verify zero pressure decay over extended test durations.
Traceability and Material Test Reports (MTRs)
Every spool is laser-etched with unique QR serial codes linking directly to full heat-number traceability, mill test certificates, and welder qualification records in accordance with ASME B31.3 and ISO 9001 standards.
