摘要: An apparatus and method of non-contacting, non-destructive, on-line dimensional analysis flaw detection tubular products are disclosed. The includes penetrating radiation sources detectors arranged about the product to be examined a high-speed data processing system which employs novel computed tomography techniques provide high precision estimates detection. is capable continuously determining outside diameter, inside wall thickness, ovality, eccentricity, weight-per-foot over wide range temperatures for essentially produced on unit or continuous basis. can also detect process-induced flaws in products.
