Joint Industry Project to develop a new guideline using numerical simulation for AUT qualification and validation for pipeline inspection - saving costs and schedule
Bureau Veritas, a global leader in testing, inspection and certification services, and CEA, a leading public research organization, are launching a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to develop a new guideline for the qualification and validation of Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) systems to inspect pipeline girth welds.
The current qualification and validation process relies on experimental tests to evaluate the performance of AUT systems in a three-step methodology:
Test welds manufactur...
