Over 85% of all drill pipes failures occur in the Upset transition zone. Traditional rack inspection have missed defects in this critical zone due to variable factors such as ID Corrosion, Scale , Coatings and an irregular geometry.
The new Ultrasonic end-area
inspection tool developed by Tuboscope employs
shear wave ultrasonics in a portable
scanning assembly to provide 360 degrees
ID , OD inspection coverage of the upset
run-out zone and at least 18" of
the tube body. The highly sensitive system
can even detect minute fatigue cracks.
