Patent 7,293,461
Ultrasonic Tubulars Inspection Device

Abstract

A system, method, and apparatus for ultrasonic detection of flaws or defects in oil field tubulars utilizing composite transducers. An array of composite transducers are utilized to detect anomalies in the tubulars, such as transverse, wall or longitudinal defects. The use of the composite transducers allow for a greater inspection area over traditional transducers thereby reducing the number of channels needed for inspection of the tubulars.  read more>>


Curved Probe Technology

IRNDT's patented curved probes provide unmatched coverage with fewer transducers than traditional techniques.  These proprietary probes can be used for wall thickness, longitudinal, and transverse inspection modes. 

Curved Probe Inspection Layout

The probes have an amazingly consistent signal return profile across much of their length.

Signal Reponse ~ 4" Radius Probe ~ 3" Travel
Flat Bottom Hole Target

Weld Line Inspection with Tracking

Weld line inspection is notoriously labor and time intensive.  Proper inspection requires precise positioning of the inspection head relative to the weld line as it wanders down the length of the tube.

IRNDT offers a variety of solutions to the tracking problem with our proprietary technology.

Drill Pipe Inspection

IRNDT has developed unique quick-fill immersion systems to allow for high throughput of  tubular goods such as drill pipe.  These systems allow the product to traverse through the system in a straight line, reducing on and off load times inherent in many other systems.

Quick Fill Immersion System

This technology allows tubes with large couplings to pass through the inspection head at high speed.
