DTRS56-03-T-0012 Ultrasonic Inspection and Assessment Methods for Pipeline Girth Welds and Repair Welds

An AUT round robin was conducted at the McDermott facility in Batam, Indonesia, to evaluate multi- and PA probe techniques for inspection of pipe girth welds under actual tropical field conditions in August 2004. In addition, to the electrical noise tests, the welds were also scanned before and after heating to determine the effects of temperature on the test results.
