Inspection of steel and aluminium gas cylinders through ultrasonic system

Seamless cylinders for high-pressure gases, the gases contained in these cylinders are usually, medical oxygen, nitrogen, argon, food gases, helium, etc.

This inspection process of the cylinder is completely different to the inspection process performed until today by companies in the same industry, now are currently carrying out inspections through hydraulic tests, we bet on a system faster, innovator, ecological and highly technological that offers greater security during the inspection of the cylinder to ensure the verification and the integrity for reuse for a period of extra time.

Due to the high pressure, the cylinders must be constructed seamless, this allows for a faster and better inspection with ultrasonic system.
Currently the inspection of seamless gas cylinders using ultrasound are performed in several countries in Europe and around the world such as England, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, USA, China

Today security is very important and the ultrasonic system is the better way to ensure

Main advantages of ultrasonic testing against hydraulic test

Technical advantages:

Safety and quality at work:

• Gas cylinder is not under pressure therefore the material is not damaged.
• Better detection of possible internal and external defects in the cylinders.
• Ultrasonic control can check the real thickness of the cylinder over its entire surface and at the base, also the level of corrosion and possible defects in the transition area between base and cylindrical part.
• Faster inspection of the cylinder.
• By not filling water the cylinder we avoid the drying process.

Respect the environment:

• In this inspection process is not necessary to fill the water cylinder, therefore, no need to spend and waste large amounts of water as is currently done with hydraulic test.

Commercial advantages:

Delivery time:

• The ultrasonic control is done in a very short time (approximately two minutes per cylinder), and in the absence of a drying process the delivery time can be reduced. Our customer can have the cylinder again in a short time.

Price:

• Reducing the time for inspection of the cylinder which represents this process (is not filled cylinder of water, no drying) also involves a better final price.
