Quality control

From weld seam to laboratory

  1. Ultrasonic inspection

    The weld seam is checked automatically during production.

  2. Visual inspection

    Outer and inner surface of the pipe.

  3. Hydrostatic pressure test

    Up to 211 bar, to the applicable standard and project specification.

  4. End inspection

    Final inspection of the pipe ends.

  5. Laboratory tests

    Mechanical and chemical tests against production parameters.
