Tests of AUGUR series systems in Yugorsk

In April 2019, tests of AUGUR-T and AUGUR-TF automated ultrasound control systems were conducted on the basis of Gazprom Transgaz Yugorsk LLC ITC. Two welded tees with reinforcing pads DN 1400 x 1000 (TR-1, TR2) were monitored. Two annular welded joints of pipes Du1000 with a wall thickness of 11.0/12.0 mm and Du1400 with a wall thickness of 18.5/16.5 mm of a ground test bench for testing diagnostic complexes were monitored. 

Ultrasonic inspection was carried out by the following methods:

• laser Automated Visual and Measuring Inspection
  
• Automated Ultrasonic Inspection by the method of HEADLIGHTS
• Automated Ultrasonic Inspection by the TOFD method
