Two of them have 6 year experience of the HDD drill Rod inspection of petroleum and natural gas industry. One of them has been working on metal material chemical and physical property test for 5 years. Another two of them have ASNT-TC-1A Standard’s NDT Level Ⅱ certificate of UT and MT. The rest two of them have received thread inspection training. They pursue excellence, pay attention to details and never allow any product with defect to be delivered to our customers.
Key processes inspection and inspection equipment

Incoming Inspection of Raw Material


DHDT has one spectrum analyzer. In addition to inspecting size and surface quality of raw material, chemical composition of two tubular products from each heat shall be analyzed.



Inspection of Upsetting



DHDT quality control engineers make strictly inspection about total length, internal and external shape, size of upsetting end during upsetting process.
DHDT quality control engineers well understand about HDD drill Rods quality influenced by over heating during upsetting process.


Mechanical Properties Test and Microstructure Examination after Heat Treatment



DHDT HDD Drill Rod Manufacturer has one universal tensile test machine and one Charpy v-notch impact test machine purchased from MTS. Mechanical property test of HDD Drill Rod can be performed according to API 5DP. DHDT quality control engineers have abundant experience about material metallographic structure identification. Strictly check structure of each batch. Results are helpful for improving heat treatment process.


DHDT quality control engineers make strictly random inspection for each batch of raw material preparing for next stage process.

NDT


DHDT flaw detection engineers have certificates of level UT2 and MT2 of ASNT-TC-1A standard. Upset connection area of each HDD Drill Rod is checked by ultrasonic test.
DHDT has one automatic non destructive test line with 16 channels ultrasonic and thickness measurements. 800 pieces of HDD Drill Rod can be tested one day. Test range of outer diameter varies from 42mm to 168mm. Make sure that there is no defect in the HDD Drill Rod body.


Thread Parameters Inspection

DHDT quality control engineers make test of each parameter by single parameter measurement of screw thread.
DHDT CNC operators will inspect each work piece with thread gauge and record data after finishing processing screw thread.


Traceability of HDD Drill Rod



DHDT establishes and follows procedures for maintaining trace ability to any applicable supplementary requirement and/or PSL requirement, as well as to drill-Rod-body heat and tool-joint heat. The procedures can trace the welds to the lot and to mechanical and inspection test results.
