Gantry-style material handling system for pipe ultrasonic tester

and up to 48ft length. The sequence of operation begins with measuring the length of each pipe, to determine the end-of- pipe location. Awalking beam transfer device then positions the pipe in the test station, while simultaneously removing a tested pipe to an exit table or conveyor.

THE energy industry consumes an enormous amount of tubular products. Given the strict quality standards, new and used pipes must be thoroughly tested before being used in the field. In the ‘full body phased array ultrasonic’ testing method, several testing attributes are performed at one time, requiring a handling system and integrated controls to effectively position and test a wide range of pipe sizes. Haven Manufacturing has expanded its material handling and systems control knowledge into the oil and gas pipe testing market. In cooperation with ultrasonic electronics producers, Haven has designed a gantry and rail system that will support a full body phased array ultrasonic system. The capacity of this system is from 2.5" to 20" diameter,

Multiple servo drives control the synchronisation of the test cycle. Manipulating up to 24,000lb of pipe at one time requires both precision and robust construction.

In the testing station, the pipe is rotated at a controlled rpm to match the specified linear speed of the ultrasonic tester carriage. The combination of rotation and carriage linear speed creates the desired test helix pattern for a given pipe diameter and wall thickness.

Engineering services for roll forming ATI Ravesh Company was founded in Iran in 1996 to provide engineering services for the roll forming industry. The business began by manufacturing and installing HF welder systems and automation systems. Due to a change of circumstances in its country, the main approach of the company became the provision of critical services for manufacturers. As a result, the company has obtained valuable experience in vacuum tube rebuilding and proficiency in all sections of HF welders. The company is ready to rebuild power tubes throughout the world, especially in the Middle Eastern countries. New fields of activity are identified by monitoring the market and understanding demands for quality and speed in manufacturing. one such activity is the flying cold saw system – completely designed in-house to meet the requirements of the customer. a twin-head flying cold saw is now under development for large diameters. The company states that its main purpose is to help manufacturers achieve more success through an increase in quality rather than quantity.
