The importance of non-destructive testing for V-cone flowmeters

Project Overview

The sensor of the V-cone flowmeter is mainly composed of pipes, cones, pressure pipes and flanges. The connections of these accessories are all through welding. The operation to inspect the welding results is non-destructive testing.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a method of detecting internal and surface defects in materials, components, and structures without damaging or affecting the performance of the object being tested. These methods use physical, chemical and other principles to identify the existence of abnormalities or defects, and analyze the test results through modern technology and equipment.

Through non-destructive testing, we can check the specific conditions of the welding, whether there are weld gaps, welding pores, welding nodules, welding cracks, missing welds, etc. that affect the function of the flow meter.

Although these operations seem simple, the inexperienced people cannot handle them. There is a special national certificate for non-destructive testing. After passing certain courses and assessments, only those who obtain the certificate can carry out professional non-destructive testing. Only the results tested by professionals can be convincing.

This is also the reason why Supmea Flow sent its employees to obtain the non-destructive testing personnel certificate for special equipment inspection and testing. After systematic study, the quality of the products is better controlled, and the V-cone flowmeter made is also More in line with the norm.
