The introduction of real-time radiography for the inspection of butt welds in offshore pipelines

Conference · · Proc., Annu. Offshore Technol. Conf.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6316485
Real time radiography may significantly reduce the costs and efforts, improve the reliability, and eliminate some subjectivity arising from the conventional film radiographic inspection of butt welds in offshore pipeline production. This paper describes this state of the art technology and discusses its introduction to the production line of traditional pipe laying barges.
