Who we are

EITI Qualytube Division is coordinated by our ISO 9712 level 3 technical Director, and is managed daily by our ISO9712 level 2 operators.

You can find a brief list of performed test in the following paragraph.

Automatic ultrasonic test on straight pipes is performed in our laboratory in Milano province. All other tests could be performed both in–house and on-site. Please find detailed list of our instruments in relevant appendix.

An important service provided to our customers is the possibility to collect all the materials purchased from different manufacturers to our warehouse. Here we can manage the complete order and organize every kind of incoming or final inspection, test, qualification or any other requirements that our customers or final users may need.

Also, we can provide final marking and packing as far as a unique point of collection.

In addition, we provide the service of issuing, review and approval of NDT procedures by our Level 3.

Automatic Ultrasonic Testing

Our automatic test machine Ultra-pro 1 is equipped by a 10-channel inspection instrument USIP-40 built by General Electric Inspection Technologies (formerly Krautkraemer) and its diagnostic software Ultra-proof.

Ultra-pro 1 can perform, in only one step, the scan of a pipe in 5 different scanning directions, allowing to detect longitudinal, transversal and double-thickness indications and defects.

In the meantime, we can detect the actual wall thickness in every point of the pipe.

Ultra-pro 1 allows Qualytube to perform automatic UT full in accordance to most stringent specifications (ISO, ASTM, ASME, EN) and engineering procedures (e.g Shell and Total).

The size range is starting from ½” to 24” NPS.

Dedicated procedures can be issued against customer requirements by our ISO 9712 Level 3 qualified Technical Director.

Magnetic and dye Penetrant Test

Qualytube is providing Magnetic and Penetrant test, required by customers mainly on pipes and fittings ends, using the products of world’s leader Manufacturer Magnaflux.
