Welding laboratory of JSC "PROMTEHMONTAZH" is equipped with modern equipment and has qualified specialists. Between 2019 and 2020 specialists of the welding laboratory mastered and introduced a new technology of non-destructive testing: diffraction — temporary TOFD method.
This method was successfully applied during the construction of Mozyr Oil Refinery OJSC (technological pipelines, oil pipelines), JSC "Slutsk Sugar Refinery" (reservoirs for storing oil and oil products, chemicals, bulk products and other substances).
In the world practice, in the construction of highly complex facilities, to replace the radiographic inspection method without losing the quality of inspection, the innovative standardized time-diffraction method (TOFD), which is a variation of the ultrasonic inspection method with results recording, is successfully used. When testing by this method, the entire welded joint, including the weld root, is clearly visible. This control method provides a complete visualization of the presence of defects in the weld, which, like the radiographic method, allows you to clearly see the orientation and nature of defects in the weld and determine the final result of the quality of the weld.
TOFD Benefits:
- Accurate defect sizing
- Detection does not depend on the type and orientation of defects
- Quick scan of the control object
- High probability of detecting defects
