Transneft Diascan, JSC Present New Flaw Detector for Large Diameter Pipe
Posted:
Transneft Diascan extended the line of diagnostic devices of its own production with a new flaw detector for determining the position of 16-DST pipelines. The device passed acceptance tests and was accepted into operation by the commission of Transneft.

This diagnostic complex is a new standard type of the range of DST flaw detectors used by specialists of Transneft Diascan for in-line diagnostics since 2012 and is designed to determine the spatial position of the main pipelines with an external diameter of 16/20". The flaw detector measures the coordinates of the axis of the pipeline, determines the radii of its bends and the angles of rotation.

The device also provides information on the location and dimensions of transverse welds, geometry defects, connecting and structural details of the pipeline, as well as measuring the movement of the pipeline during its operation.

For reference:

Transneft Diascan is a high-tech production and research company that creates diagnostic equipment which successfully competes with the best world analogues, and also develops unique devices that are unparalleled anywhere in the world. The company has modern ultrasonic, magnetic, combined flaw detectors, BGT tools, devices for determining the position of pipelines with a diameter from 6" to 48".
