Abstract
Pipes with insulation are widely used in the industrial field. The traditional nondestructive testing technology for on-line pipes with insulation often requires the removal of a large number of insulation layers and the forcing of the owner to stop for testing. The traditional testing mode not only has low detection efficiency, but also forces the owner to spend a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. In recent years, a series of new nondestructive testing (NDT) technologies have different advantages for in-service pipeline testing with coated layers. However, Digital radiographic (DR) testing can satisfy the integrity inspection of on-line pipeline with insulation well. In this paper, the basic principle of DR testing and the configuration of instrument parameters are introduced. Based on the analysis and discussion of the actual testing cases, it is proved that digital ray testing can effectively solve the quality testing of on-line insulation pipeline, and it is a new nondestructive testing technology worthy of further study and popularization.
