THE IMPORTANCE OF NDT IN THE OIL & GAS INDUSTRY

Non-destructive testing (NDT) plays a crucial role in the oil and gas industry by ensuring the safety, reliability, and efficiency of critical equipment and infrastructure, as well as protecting the environment. Given the highly demanding standards in this industry, it is essential to ensure that materials are free from defects and comply with applicable regulations.

Oil and gas infrastructures, such as pipelines, storage tanks, offshore platforms, and pressure equipment, operate in high-risk environments. CMS Ultrasonic and Eddy Current inspection systems help detect cracks, corrosion, defective welds, or other internal, external or surface flaws in these assets early on, preventing accidents, leaks, and explosions.

With extensive experience in the oil and gas sector and remarkable adaptability, our comprehensive range of inspection systems enables the evaluation of numerous components, including the most complex, using advanced Eddy Current and Ultrasonic technologies.

CMS EXPERTISE

  • Defects detection: surface, subsurface, internal, external,  transverse, longitudinal, oblique defects, holes, cracks, corrosion…
  • Weld inspection
  • Dimensional and thickness measurement
  • And much more…

 

A combined Eddy Current and Ultrasonic inspection is also possible, the entire surface area of the part is then inspected to verify its conformity.

CERTIFIED INSPECTION SYSTEMS

All our Eddy Current systems comply with the latest European and international standards, including ASTM, ASNT, ISO, API, ASME, EN and more.

Our dedicated teams are available to collaborate on your project, working with you to develop an efficient, customized solution that addresses your specific needs and constraints.

 MAIN ADVANTAGES

  • State-of-the-art inspection NDT systems: CMS systems are fully customizable to suit the specific product being inspected, as well as your detection requirements and constraints. Robust and compact, they are able to work in harsh environment.
  • Early Defect Detection: CMS systems help identify surface and sub-surface defects with high sensitivity at early stages of production.
  • Preservation of Material Integrity: CMS NDT systems allow the inspection of oil & gas applications without altering them, meaning they can continue to be used after testing.
  • Production Quality Control and Certification: CMS systems ensure parts comply with strict industry standards and better management of industrial risks.
  • Enhanced Security: By identifying weaknesses in oil & gas structures or equipment, CMS systems reduces the risk of accidents, especially in critical industries.
  • Real Time Inspection: Thanks to our high-performance CMS software, inspection results are displayed in real-time ensuring continuous quality control.
  • Precise defect analysis and traceability: Comprehensive inspection reports with complete traceability tracking are created at the end of the control.
