Portable Pipeline Weld Residual Stress Tester for Hydrotest Verification

Model: PMA-1010 | Type: Portable Nondestructive Indentation Tester

Product Summary

This portable residual stress tester, model PMA-1010, is designed for nondestructive measurement of welding residual stress in pipelines. It is especially effective for verifying stress redistribution before and after hydrotesting, providing essential data for pipeline integrity assessments.

Key Features

1mm Indentation

Creates indentations of just 1mm, ensuring no interference with pipeline inspection gauges (PIGs).

Macro-Scale Testing

Capable of measuring at macro-scale, ideal for weld zones.

Portable & Single-Operator

Portable design allows single-operator use on large-diameter pipelines (≥48").

Rapid Circumferential Scanning

Rapidly scans the entire circumference of girth welds to locate high-stress arc segments.

Axial & Hoop Stress Separation

Distinguishes axial residual stress from hoop residual stress in girth welds.

Residual Stress / Yield Ratio Output

Outputs residual stress to yield ratio to warn of weld plastic collapse risk.

FAQ

Q1: How does the tester handle residual stress measurement before and after hydrotest?

The tester can measure at the same weld location before and after hydrotest, allowing verification of stress redistribution due to pressure.

Q2: What is the indentation depth range?

The indentation depth is typically between 60 and 120 micrometers, which is shallow enough to be considered non-destructive for most applications.

Q3: Can it be used on large-diameter pipelines?

Yes, the portable design enables single-operator use on pipelines with diameters of 48 inches or greater.

Q4: Does the tester interfere with pipeline inspection gauges (PIGs)?

No, the 1mm indentation is minimal and does not affect the passage of PIGs.

Q5: What materials can be tested?

The tester is suitable for cemented carbide, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy.

Q6: What power options are available?

It supports wired 220V or wireless 24V power.
