METHODS FOR TESTING AND QUALITY CONTROL OF MATERIALS IN OIL AND GAS FACILITY CONSTRUCTION
Abdur Lone , Quality assurance manager, AIR PRODUCTS, Saudi ArabAbstract
Methods of testing and quality control of materials in the construction of oil and gas industry facilities play a key role in ensuring the safety, reliability, and durability of structures. Both destructive and non-destructive methods are used in construction, each of which has its advantages and limitations. Destructive methods allow a deeper study of the mechanical properties of materials, but their use leads to damage to samples. At the same time, non-destructive methods such as ultrasound diagnostics and laser scanning ensure monitoring of the condition of objects without destroying their integrity. Hybrid and combined test methods allow for more accurate results, which is critically important for the oil and gas industry. The use of modern technologies in the field of quality control significantly reduces operational risks and increases the service life of facilities.
