A Guide to Testing Methods of OCTG
OCTG is a kind of high-level product made of steel pipes, and it has many kinds. For OCTG’s diameter, there are 15 kinds. For OCTG’s steel grade, there are 11 kinds, such as J55, K55, etc. For it’s pipe end treatment, there are also many kinds, such as VAM, TOP VAM, LC, BC, STC, etc. As OCTG is quite a delicate steel pipe, so how much do you know about the testing method s of OCTG? 1. Eddy Current Testing Eddy current testing mainly uses the eddies in the work piece produced by magnet coils to analyze the internal qualities of the work pieces, and to detect the surface and near surface defects of various kinds of conductive materials. 2. Ultrasonic Testing When ultrasonic waves propagate in the tested material, acoustic characteristics of the material and changes of internal structures have a certain influence on the propagation of ultrasonic waves. We can know the changes of material's performance and structure by the influence degree and condition of the ultrasonic waves. 3. Pen...
