Pipeline Radiography Crawler Services
A pipeline crawler is essentially a battery powered, remotely controlled mobile radiographic machine designed to produce single wall, single image (SWSI) radiographs of circumferential welds in pipelines. It is a completely self-contained, self-propelled and self-operated vehicle that travels inside the pipeline, stops at the location of a girth weld, irradiates the weld with x-rays and then moves to the next one where it again stops and repeats the x-ray operation.
Our pipeline radiographic technique is quick and can inspect over 100 welds per day.
Advantages:
- Inspects very large volumes of welds per shift
- Consistently produces very high quality radiographs
- Very fast method with short exposure times
