Digital Comparisons in Oil & Gas Joseph ZEKOSKI and James COSTAIN 2
Conversion of radiographic inspections from film to digital x-ray detectors has many benefits including increased detection capability, higher productivity, and simplified operations. However, successful conversion requires consideration of both technical and financial factors. The outstanding imaging performance of both DXR flat-panel detectors and computed radiography systems provides the required sensitivity equivalent to film for many applications. To determine if a digital solution is economically justified, GE Inspection Technologies routinely provides total cost of ownership projections for specific customer applications. These projections include factors such as productivity gains, detector wear out for applicable detector models, service contract options, and elimination of unnecessary chemical handling. This paper discusses the factors involved in these conversions and presents some example applications from the Oil & Gas industry.
