Made in Germany - YXRAY GmbH

One of the major European manufacturers for welded stainless steel

pipes from coil, SOSTA GmbH & Co. KG, highlights the clear added
value system - concept by YXRAY GmbH.

Due to SOSTAs investment in modern forming, welding and quality
testing techniques, they can meet the most stringent market demands
in terms of price, quality and delivery times.
Non-destructive testing procedures for example ultrasonic testing,
eddy current or hydrostatic testing are underlined by the state of the
art multifunctional X-ray system engineered and manufactured by
YXRAY.

Mr. Olaf Ziesmann (Works Manager, SOSTA) likes to highlight the
efficient system - concept from YXRAY in terms of added value to
their business. (Translated interview)

YXRAY: Mr. Ziesmann, what is your direct commercial
added value with the new multifunctional X-ray
system?

O. Ziesmann: With opening our new X-ray system from YXRAY
GmbH we build the conditions for a maximum efficient
shift work pan 24 / 7. Now we do 100% X-ray tests
in-house without any external service providers.
We have since the opening beginning 2007 already
savings of 500.000 compare to 2006.
The digital radiography becomes more and more
accepted from well known engineering partners so
that additional saving in time and costs compare to
film radiography are clear visible.

YXRAY: Mr. Ziesmann, whats about time saving with the
new integrated circumferential welding seamtest,
compare to the conventional method?

O. Ziesmann: We save close to 50% compare to manual testing
with panoramic x-ray tube and films

YXRAY: From your point of view, how reliable is the
multifunctional X-ray system?

O. Ziesmann: The X-ray system works with high reliability 24h, 7
days a week since the beginning:

YXRAY: Many Thanks, Mr. Ziesmann !
