NDT / Quality Control

Pro-Pipe Norway A/S offers our customers in the district heating and the offshore sector professional coordination in the welding technical know-how and quality of welding work in accordance with EN 729 series.

IWS. International Welding Specialist Diploma - Approved by Force Technology

We have staff who are trained and qualified in the following areas:

Welding methods and equipment:

• Selecting the technically most suitable welding method in terms of quality, economy and material
  
• Selecting the most appropriate way for the manufacture of welded joints from drawings and specifications
  
• Being able to initiate repair work on the basis of inspection reports
  
• Being able to prepare a written report documenting that the welding work is performed according to the specification
  

Materials and their weldability

• Assessment of material certificates validity based on requirements in DS/ISO, DIN and upcoming EN (EuroNorm)
  
• Assessment and receipt of steel from the certificate information on the manufacturing process, chemical analysis, mechanical properties and heat treatment
  
• Assessment of heat effect on the mechanical properties of HAZ (Heat Affected Zone) and the establishment of new welding data from calculations by heat input
  
• Take precautions against metallurgical defects - such as fractures, heat and hydrogen cracking
  

Construction, manufacturing and quality control
