SOFRATEST, a France-based company and part of the CONTROLE MESURE SYSTEMES GROUP alongside CONTROLE MESURE SYSTEMES, designs and manufactures a wide range of Ultrasonic equipment dedicated to the inspection of ERW & SAW welded pipes and strips.
The company offers a specific solution called the Scarfing Monitoring System, designed to inspect the inner and outer profiles of ERW pipe welds. This equipment is placed immediately after the welding process. Before inspection, the weld must be cooled with a cooling liquid that also serves as a couplant agent.
A security sensor can be added to the system as an option ensuring greater safety and serenity before the use of the IOP system. It will detect potential open welds, in order to ensure the execution of the Scarfing Monitoring System without any damage.
Following the security sensor, a probe shoe oscillates around the welding area, inspecting both the external and internal profiles of the weld while simultaneously performing a thickness measurement. This equipment offers high stability, allowing for high-speed inspection under very harsh conditions.
Thanks to our powerful and easy-to-use IOP software, the successive profile curves along the pipes are displayed in real time. Traceability is ensured by our production software, which creates complete and customizable inspection reports. If irregularities are detected, they will be immediately highlighted and located in the inspection report. The system screen is remote, providing a clear, global view of the inspection and enabling necessary adjustments to be made remotely.
Our equipment is 100% customizable and can be adapted according to the diameter, thickness, and length of the inspected tube. All our Sofratest systems comply with international and European standards, including API 5L 46TH, ISO 10893-8, ISO 10893-9, SHELL, ARAMCO, and others.
