XPRESS-SCAN represents a know-how mobile digital radiography system designed for automatic inspection of single- or double-wall pipe welds ranging from 159 mm (6 inches) and more in pipeline construction, maintenance or repair.

The complex aims to drastically enhance the speed of non-destructive testing, streamline operations and reduce the risk of human mistakes. Testing can be conducted immediately after welding, and instant results enable prompt adjustments to welding equipment settings should any defects be detected, ensuring they are not repeated in subsequent joints and thereby preventing project delays. Thanks to the minimal control time, the system provides a significant productivity boost in both onshore and offshore projects.

The availability of a convenient double-wall control scheme offers an optimal solution for situations where using a crawler is not feasible. Additionally, the system includes all necessary accessories and pre-installed DR-SOFT software, equipped with a comprehensive toolkit for conducting various tasks within the realm of industrial radiographic inspection.

• The system enables automatic radiographic control of the whole annular weld of a pipe in one go without any kind of operator’s involvement.
• The use of the XPRESS-SCAN complex strikingly improves the pace of pipeline control: a single digital image of the whole pipe weld will be ready in just a few minutes.
• Fast and easy equipment installation on a pipe does not require special skills and takes one to two minutes.
• The system operates with batteries and provides for non-stop operation thanks to their sufficient quantity and fast recharging.
• The working results are instantly transferred to the operator’s laptop via Wi-Fi, while the internal detector’s storage is intended to make sure nothing is lost in case of wireless connection problems.
• While working with the complex, the inspection company can use any X-ray or Gamma source and any crawler (though application of a constant-potential X-ray generator is advised to achieve the best quality image in the shortest time).
• Obtained results come in a protected format under the DICONDE protocol with relevant tags, such as date, time, GPS coordinates, number of images taken, pipe diameter, etc., which strongly simplifies archiving and searching.
• The XPRESS-SCAN® unit is supplied in shockproof transportation cases with a complete set of accessories for the immediate start of operations.
• The system fully meets ISO/ASTM/ASME standards requirements and provides images of the highest quality.
