Foerster has completed delivery of its largest order to date, the supply of a complete Circoson WT NDT (non-destructive testing) system to the new Benteler facility in Shreveport, Louisiana. The technology tests seamless hot-rolled tubes at the facility, which produces tubes for the energy-generation, oil and gas production, and chemical and petrochemical industries.
The system includes tables, drivers, automation and software integration of all test instruments. It ensures that tube wall thickness and OD meet all requirements and that eventual surface defects will be traced reliably, according to the company.
