How to test a SS 304 Seamless Pipe?

The 304 seamless pipe are tested to check their integrity and properties. Below are the most common tests performed on them:

1.Hydrostatic tests to check any leaks in the pipe.
2.Ultrasonic testing determines the wall thickness of a pipe. This helps determine the pressure it can bear.
3.Magnetic particle inspection is a complex test that checks any imperfections by applying iron particles.
4.The Charpy Impact test helps measure the toughness of the material.
5.In the Positive material identification test, x-ray radiation is used to check for the existance of defects in the pipe.
