UrBC, Yekaterinburg, June 11, 2015. Pervouralsk New Pipe Plant/PNTZ (a member enterprise of ChTPZ Group) is starting to use a new fault detector meant for ultrasonic analysis and thickness measurement of boiler tubes, the Group’s press service reports.

The use of the new unit will result in more efficient quality control of pipes and tubes made of stainless, carbonated, low-alloy and alloyed steels and will enable the company to meet its customers’ additional requirements.

The multi-functional fault detector was designed by Yekaterinburg-based Introtest and proved unique in terms of what pieces of equipment it combines and in terms of how it can process different pipe varieties (ranging in wall width from 0 to 8 mm and in length from 0 to 25,000 mm). The unit meets all the global testing requirements and cost about 15m RUR.

Boiler tubes are mainly purchased by companies in the power plant industry.
