A new approach to monitoring polyethylene pipe welds using X-Ray TV inspection is considered. A study was performed as
regards application of X-Ray TV inspection to detect possible defects in the weld, as well as metallographic investigations of
the samples, which confirm the X-Ray TV inspection results. 9 Ref., 6 Fig.
