Real-Time Digital Radiography (RTR) is an advanced radiography technique that incorporates the filmless conversion of data into a high-resolution image of pipeline welds and other assets within a single scan. The amount of radiation required for a digital radiography image is far less than that is required to achieve the same resolution with conventional radiography. Images produced can be permanently stored and uploaded to a cloud-based server or client specified database for remote auditing capabilities. RTR is mainly employed for new-construction industry customers, specifically, in pipeline construction and LNG tank construction.
The inspection technique can be implemented to inspect, for example, pipes with a diameter from 5 cm to 142 cm (2 in. to 56 in), proving to be a versatile and efficient technique to suit customer needs. RTR is compliant with the following codes and standards: API 1104, ASME V, Art.2, including Mandatory Appendix IX, DNV OS-F101, and EN-ISO 17636-2.
