Tubes are essential semi-finished products in many industries due to their versatility and mechanical properties. They are used in the aerospace sector for fuselage and landing gear structures, hydraulic and pneumatic circuits, fuel lines, and so on. In the automotive industry, tubes are used for axles, suspension components, drive shafts, and fuel, brake, cooling lines, and so on.
In the oil and gas industry, pipelines transport oil and gas, while tubes are found in heat exchangers, drilling pipes, and so on. In the nuclear sector, tubes are used in heat exchangers, cooling and steam circuits, thermal power plants, and so on. They are also present in the medical field for more precise applications such as stents, prosthetics, syringes and so on.
Tubes come in various shapes and are made from different materials such as steel, aluminum, copper, or specific alloys. Their production involves several stages, including rolling, extrusion, or welding, followed by heat treatments and quality control inspections.
Thanks to CMS systems developed with the latest cutting-edge technologies, it is possible to ensure precise and reliable inspection of all types of tubes, whether ferromagnetic or non-magnetic, using Eddy Current and Ultrasonic technologies. These inspections ensure their compliance with industrial standards and their reliability in service.
Installed on-line or off-line, our specially designed systems can detect a wide range of defects arising during the various manufacturing processes:
All our Eddy Current and Ultrasonic systems meet the requirements of current European and international standards (ASTM, API, DIN, SEP, BS, ISO, ASME, ASNT…), calibration standards and comply with NF EN ISO 15548-1, NF EN ISO 15548-2, NF EN ISO 15548-3, NF EN ISO 22232-1.
