On-Line Pipe Production Control

The x-ray measuring system is designed for non-destructive on-line control of foam insulated pipe systems.

The system maps and scales the cross sectional position of service pipes and alarm wires. In addition, measures the foam density in cross sectional zones and locates the position of service pipes made from metal or plastic.

The system consists of a closed cabinet with a tunnel through which the produced pipes are moved. The system is accompanied by an extensive and user-friendly software package, tailor made for the individual application.

Advantages

  • Uniform production quality
  • Continuous quality control
  • Feed-back signals for adjustment
  • Materials saving
  • Automatic quality documentation
  • Reduced start-up time
  • Customers will only meet quality products

  • Measurement principle

    The pre-insulated pipe system is exposed to fan shaped X-ray beams emitted perpendicularly to pipe axis from two low-energy X-ray sources. The intensity of radiation transmitted through the cross section is detected by two sensor arrays mounted opposite the sources. The sensor signals are processed to give a detailed map of the density and the structures inside the pipe casing.
