OCTG Inspection
OCTG has significantly increased its tubular inspection capacity and now offers the largest array of inspection systems of any domestic threading facility.
Electromagnetic Inspection (EMI)
- NDT Model 6000 EMI Unit with Pitco Hall-effect 100% Wall System, 4 ½” –13 5/8” OD capacity
- NDT Model 5500 EMI Unit with Pitco Hall-effect 100% Wall System, 2 3/8” – 5 ½” OD capacity
OCTG owns five NDT EMI inspection systems. Four are NDT Model 6000 casing units, accommodating tubular having OD sizes from 2 3/8 through 13 5/8 inches. OCTG also operates one NDT Model 5500 tubing unit, accepting tubing or casing sizes ranging from 2 3/8 through 5 1/2 inches OD.
Full-Length Ultrasonic Inspection (UTFL)
- Tubular Ultrasound Full-Body UTFL Inspection System, 2 3/8” – 13 5/8” OD capacity
Tubular Ultrasound, an OCTG affiliate, is a premier manufacturer and operator of high-speed, full-body tubular inspection systems. Tubular Ultrasound-designed UTFL test systems are currently operated at or for all major domestic oilfield tubular mills, as well as by most inspection service companies.
OCTG owns three full-length
ultrasonic test systems. Tubular Ultrasound systems are the only domestic UTFL
test systems based on the full-digital General Electric/Krautkramer electronics
platform. The OCTG UTFL test system can inspect tubulars ranging in diameter
from 2 3/8 through 13 5/8 inches OD. Plain-End Hydrostatic Testing - OCTG is installing a plain-end hydrostatic testing line to complement its casing threading services. Completion is slated for late July 2011.
