【Ethylene】Non-destructive testing of welds in the “demethanization tower” of the ethylene plant.

This post was last edited by Xiao Gong 1985 on 2016-1-29 08:41. Hello, everyone! For the \"demethanization tower\" of a certain ethylene plant, the tower body is constructed from austenitic stainless steel S30408 with wall thicknesses of 52 mm. It is now time for its first regular inspection, and I am seeking advice on how to effectively detect hidden defects in the butt welds without using gamma ray testing. I would appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thank you!
It seems that HaiChuan doesn’t have experts in inspection! This question is indeed very insightful; I’m looking forward to someone answering it!
With enough money, one can invest in more advanced methods like TOFD; with a moderate amount of money, ordinary UT is sufficient; if resources are limited, X-ray inspection can be used
