TUV Rheinland Expands Mobile Radiography Capabilities
Posted: 2013-6-18
TUV Rheinland Industrial Solutions (TRIS), a full-service inspection, testing and
certification company, has expanded its mobile radiography capabilities,
bringing its fleet of inspection trucks to 12. The mobile trucks are versatile, can
go out to remote terrains and offer convenient on-site inspections of welded
material and castings, including piping systems, tanks, pressure vessels and
steel bridge components.
TRIS increased its capabilities as radiography tests are in high demand by
companies seeking to ensure the structural integrity and safety of equipment
and infrastructure. Mobile units provide an entire range of services right at the
job site, saving the customer transit costs and offering a fast set-up and results.
The new units run off inverters and converters and AC power, without the need
for generators, helping the company transition to a more eco-friendly fleet.
Additionally, they are completely insulated and leak-proof, and highly chemical-
and weather-resistant, and a new system dries the film in under 20 minutes,
speeding up handling and reporting.
TÜV Rheinland’s employees have extensive training and experience in radiation
inspection. All radiographers are certified in accordance with The American
Society for Non-destructive Testing (ASNT) or EN (European Norms) standards
and provide films and readings quickly and accurately using state-of-the-art
equipment. For more information about TRIS services, visit www.tuvris.com.
