WALL THICKNESS MEASUREMENT OF CARBON STEEL PIPES BY USING DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY

Sultan SÖNMEZ¹

One of the major field NDT areas is pipe inspection, which involves testing for corrosion and erosion as well as examining the quality of welds in pipes. In order to perform of the wall thickness measurements that include pitting, we can use one of the two following techniques: Tangential Technique and Double Wall Technique. In this study, carbon steel pipes which have 2, 3, and 4 inch diameter were irradiated from 1m by Gamma-Ray, besides, their histogram were analyzed via Tangential Technique for different periods. Furthermore, the results were compared by gathered results which measured by Ultrasonic Test.
