Pipes & Tubes
We offer ultrasonic, Eddy current, Magnetic particle inspection and Geometry Measurement testing systems for pipes and tube. These systems can be categorized into different categories like ultrasonic is for internal defects eddy current for surface defects and MPI for surface and near surface defects.
Ultrasonics Systems for Inspection of Pipes
These systems are fully automatic ultrasonic inspections of weld zones, heat affected zones (HAZ), pipe ends and the full body using conventional ultrasonic or phased array probes depending upon customer/specifications requirement
We also offer EMAT technology for measuring thickness of DI pipes or monitoring of weld scarfing
Salient Features
- Supports conventional and phased array probes
- Automatic wall-thickness measurement (including non-contact EMAT option) & tracking of weld/seam for full inspection
- Wall thickness accuracy, upto 10μ + 2R
- Compliance with global standards including DEP 31.40.20.37 (Feb 2023), IOGP S‑616 Ver 1.0/2.0, DNV‑ST‑F101 (2021), ASTM E‑317:2021
Pipe Type | Diameter Range | Wall Thickness | Meterial | Test Capacity |

Eddy Current System for Tubes
We offer eddy current systems for wires, tube (welded or seamless) & bars. These systems are used to detect transverse and longitudinal cracks by using encircling coils. The System consists of Eddy Current Equipment, Computer with Software, Coils (depending on diameter), Coil Holder, Cable, Encoder & Paint marking system etc. In case of ferrous products, a suitable magnetizer, demagnetizer is required
Salient Features
- Offline/Online operation
- Diameter Range 0.3 to 230 mm
- Guide Sleeves in Plastics/ Stainless Steel
- Audio Visual Alarm
- Three-Zone Alarm
- Automated Sorting
- Advanced Reporting Tools
Encircling Coil
Segment Coil
Coil Holder
MPI System for Pipe Bevels
The cross-coil station delivers both longitudinal and transverse magnetization, fully encircling both pipe ends including the bevel face. A rugged steel frame houses copper coils embedded in concrete (or an equally durable protective coating) to provide industrial grade durability. The system includes a Power Pack, the Cross-Coil Station itself, a Control Panel with HMI plus a pendant remote, and all necessary Magnetic Particle Testing accessories and consumables.
Salient Features
- Pipe Size (Outer Diameter): 16″ to 56″
- Wall Thickness: 9.0 mm to 76.0 mm
- Length: 5.0 m to 12.8 m
- Automatic and comprehensive inspection of pipe ends (body/ends) via multi-directional cross coils
- Suitable for carbon steel material, wide range of diameters and wall thickness
