Home / Digital Radiography Systems for Pipe Inspection
Inspection of large pipes and tanks is traditionally time-consuming—especially with conventional film-based radiography. MQS Technologies offers an automated Digital Radiography (DR) solution designed for pipe inspection on the manufacturing / QC line, enabling real-time weld quality evaluation. These systems are used for inspecting longitudinal welds, spiral welds, and circumferential/planar welds, supporting both single-wall and double-wall inspection workflows.
Immediate visualization and faster decisions on the shop floor (no film processing wait).
Supports longitudinal, spiral and circumferential weld inspection for different pipe manufacturing methods.
Feed-through and weld-joint station configurations reduce manual handling and improve repeatability.
Multiple X-ray sources and detector sizes allow matching penetration and coverage to pipe thickness and diameter.
In-house design/manufacturing, after-sales service, software capability, and AERB guidance.
Continuous scanning workflow for production lines; stable inspection conditions.
Focused weld inspection with controlled movement and consistent imaging.
Configurable for pipe size, wall thickness and inspection method; supports single/double wall inspection.
