The RELIANT-SCAN "Ultrascan" is shown here. This is a unique ultrasonic inspection system designed by RELIANT NDT in the U.S. It provides the capability to inspect for flaws and wall reduction on tubulars, either in the critical end areas as well as full length, as shown here.

The operator shown scans the pipe with the test head, full length, including the upset area, as well as 360 degrees around the pipe circumference.

The technician stationed at the portable electronic instrument console is not shown here. He reviews the test data and evaluates all signals from the pipe. Flaw signals are then further evaluated for disposition.
