Rising demand for weld technology for use in oil and gas pipelines
The global ultrasonic testing equipment market is projected to expand at a significant rate during the forecast period, due to increasing demand for use of the weld technology in oil and gas pipelines. At the global level, oil and gases are primarily transported by four mediums: rail, trucks, boats, and pipelines. Among these, 100% of natural gas is transported by pipelines, owing to difficulty in and the cost of transforming natural gas into liquid form. Also, 70% of crude oil and petroleum products are shipped by pipelines in the U.S.
Demand for safe transportation of these explosive gases leads to high demand for ultrasonic testing of the weld technology for pipelines. For this testing, various ultrasonic testing equipment are used across the globe. Apart from the oil & gas industry, ultrasonic testing equipment are increasingly being used in various sectors, such as aerospace & defense, automotive, medical, and construction, in order to identify faults, if any, in the manufacture of components. This testing ensures structural integrity and quality of products. This can make the product or system more efficient in terms of performance and reliability. This is projected to augment the demand for ultrasonic testing equipment across the world in the next few years.
