GE Measurement & Control India launches x|pipe BT
Posted: 2013-2-6
In line with the strategy of developing technology and products customized to
Indian requirements, GE (NYSE: GE) Measurement & Control India launched
"x|pipe BT". This is an inline radioscopic system for detecting the defects in
boiler tube welds.
By effectively detecting the weld defects during the boiler tube manufacturing
stage, X|pipe BT reduces power plant's downtime.
Digital Radioscopic Inspection brings higher productivity and cost savings over
traditional film radiography. And by using radioscopic inspection system such a
GE’s x|pipe BT, there are many other benefits that end-users can gain such as
greater efficiency, computer-aided image interpretation and the ability to
conveniently archive, share and retrieve images.
Ashish Bhandari, Regional General Manager, GE Measurement & Control India
said, "The launch of x|pipe BT is reflective of GE’s world-class manufacturing
capabilities, efficient resources and localization efforts within India.
Key features and benefits:
- Small footprint and motorized solution, capable of producing high quality weld
images.
- Provides a complete solution using GE’s DXR250RT digital detector array and
Isovolt Titan E x-ray generator tube imaging chain, integrated with a protection
cabinet and manipulation for inline inspection of butt welded boiler tubes.
- Features a sophisticated data management system through GE's Rhythm
software, handling data acquisition, image review and interpretation, as well as
reporting, long-term archive, and retrieval.
In addition, this is another significant step towards achieving our business goal
of being the premier provider of industrial healthcare for our customers’ most
critical assets and systems in India".
