Non-destructive testing forms an integral part of the oil and gas industry. Therefore, aspirants wanting to get into this industry must have the skills and knowledge related to NDT methods. Here, let’s understand one of the most popular and crucial NDT methods, radiographic testing. Radiographic testing (RT, X-ray, or Gamma-ray)…
Radiography is divided into two major segments – conventional and digital. Digital radiography is an advanced radiography technique that has opened a world of possibilities. There are four major types of digital radiography which are discussed in another blog. Here, we will discuss an overview of computed radiography. Computed Radiography…
Radiographic testing is one of the required NDT methods that uses x-rays or gamma rays to view the internal structure of the component. We can also say that it is an NDT (Nondestructive Testing) method that involves penetrating X or gamma radiation to examine objects having imperfections. We obtain the…
There are different methods used in Non-destructive testing. Today, we will discuss one of the efficient flaw detection methods in magnetic materials – Magnetic Particle Inspection. Magnetic particle inspection, or MT or MPI, is a non-destructive inspection method that helps to detect surface and subsurface flaws on ferromagnetic materials. It…
We have already gained a lot of information related to dye penetrant testing. Next, let’s focus on another important concept which is Magnetic Particle testing. But, before delving deeper into the topic, we must have some information fixed in our minds. These are the common yet essential terms related to…
Each of the materials used in the dye penetrant test is crucial from a respective functionality point of view. In previous blogs, we discussed the penetrant types and their uses. Here, we will see the different types of developers and how they impact the dye penetrant test. This is an…
The supply chain in the oil and gas industry is divided into three major segments – Upstream, midstream, and downstream. From the various activities conducted, drilling is a significant activity. Drilling activities are efficiently carried out using drilling rigs. A Drilling Rig is an equipment used to create holes or wells in the earth’s surface.
Drilling rigs are selected based on the requirements of the drill site. Rigs are generally categorized as onshore(land) and offshore(marine). You must know this topic in detail as it is an integral part of the oil and gas training courses online.
Onshore drilling rigs are structures made up of prefabricated sections that can be displaced onto the location by truck, barge, helicopter, etc.
Dye penetrant test is a type of visual inspection for the detection of surface flaws and discontinuities. In one of the earlier blogs, we discussed the various processes and materials involved in the test.
We all know that penetrants are the key detecting elements that help in successful flaw detection. Here, we will discuss the type of penetrants used in dye penetrant tests.
This is an essential topic in the oil and gas courses for mechanical engineers.
