10/60 X-ray Crawler (10 to 60)

General Information
JME Ltd based in Lowestoft, Suffolk, UK has established itself as a leading manufacturer of pipeline x-ray and gamma crawlers. The JME pipeline crawlers are designed to produce high quality panoramic radiographs of circumferential butt welds in new pipelines from 3 to 72. These units are designed and proven, both onshore and offshore, to work as a fully self contained, self powered exposure vehicle. There are no trailing leads and all commands are executed from outside the pipeline using a low activity isotope. The units can be commanded to travel, stop and radiograph as required. Crawler tracking, so that the position and direction of travel of the crawler can be monitored, is achieved either by mounting a low activity tracker isotope on the crawler or by using JMEs unique non-isotope tracking system. Four X-ray and three gamma crawler systems are available; X-ray crawler sizes are 6/16 (6 to 16), 8/18 (8 to 18), 10/60 (10 to 60) and 24/72 (24 to 72) and Gamma crawler sizes are 3/6 (3 to 6), 6/18 (6 to 18) and 10/48 (10 to 48). A wealth of design and field operating experience has been drawn upon in the development and manufacture of these crawlers, which are efficient, versatile and highly reliable. JME Ltd offer a complete service of manufacture, training, operating and refurbishment of their crawler systems.

Application
The 10/60 X-ray Crawler is available with Balteau 160kV, 200kV, 300kV or Yxlon 200kV constant potential tube options, for use in non-destructive testing for detection of defects in new pipeline butt welds. The 10/60 X-ray Crawler is a compact modular unit suitable for use onshore or offshore in a wide variety of climatic conditions, in pipelines of nominal diameter from 10 to 60 inches. Alternative X-ray tubes or Gamma projectors can be fitted, please contact JME Ltd with your requirements.
