ULTRASONIC TESTING FOR POLYETHYLENE PIPES
The UTPP is a state-of-the-art portable, lightweight and simple to use device for the non-destructive testing of joints in polyethylene tubes in water and gas distribution networks. It is a measuring device from Tessonics. It allows for the inspection of butt-welded and electrofusion joints on pipes with diameters from 50 to 320mm.
The device is based on modern electronics and has built in artificial intelligence algorithms (neural networks) which allow the operator to confidently find and classify defects. Pre-defined inspection plans significantly increase operator efficiency and minimise the potential for errors.
