Krautkramer SNUP-SP
The Krautkrämer SNUP-SP system is designed for automated ultrasonic inspection of the weld seam and Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) on Spiral Submerged Arc Welded (HSAW) pipe meeting the needs of API, DNV and other oil and gas transmission pipeline standards. SNUP-SP systems are built with industry-leading Phased Array technology or optionally with conventionalultrasonic testingmethods to assess weld quality for process control prior to hydrotesting as well as for the final quality test.
We used to be GE Inspection Technologies, now we’re Waygate Technologies, a global leader in NDT solutions with more than 125 years of experience in ensuring quality, safety and productivity.
