Materials in the metals, tube and pipe, railway, and other industries have to meet a number of challenging requirements – be it due to very high stresses in their area of application, legal requirements, or your customers’ quality and safety requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to inspect every type of product and asset to the smallest detail that may pose a risk to people and the environment.
ROSEN offers industrial nondestructive testing solutions for semifinished and end products as part of a holistic service package that ranges from consulting, manufacturing and on-site installation to modernization to the support of manufacturers and operators in finding even the smallest features, ensuring safety and the highest level of quality and asset maintenance – beyond compliance.
With more than 40 years of experience in the inspection of industrial assets, the ROSEN Group also provides its expertise to the metal, tube and pipe, railway, aerospace, and automotive industries. In doing so, we rely on state-of-the-art inspection technologies.
Technology is the driving force behind the solutions we create and the value we provide to our customers. Accordingly, we are always on a path towards enhancing and extending our technology portfolio in order to deliver innovative products and services well into the future.
Metals
The metals industry manufactures heavy and thick plates, profile steel, strips, and bars and billets for safety-critical assets that are later shaped into end products – for instance in the pipe industry, in machine building, in infrastructure and transportation, and in steel and bridge construction. These semifinished products must be sound and accurately inspected. Visual control is generally not sufficient to detect internal defects.
Operating in automated mode, ROSEN’s testing solutions can be seamlessly integrated into the production process if desired. Let ROSEN help you secure the highest quality standards for your products. Your customers count on you.

SCAN-IT – Immersion Tank Scanner for Billets
Tubes & Pipes
Used in many industries, tubes and pipes must be capable of withstanding extreme pressure and temperatures. In order to ensure construction safety, even minimal inaccuracies in the material must be detected during the tube and pipe production process.
All of it is familiar territory for ROSEN: our industrial testing solutions detect discontinuities and other flaws, such as cracks, laminations, wall thickness, defects in weld seams, heat-affected zones, and material properties in plates and coils, welded tubes and pipes, and seamless tubes and pipes. Be certain that your products are absolutely sound – before they leave the pipe mill. Others count on it.

Railways
Trains and railways are a critical part of the public transport infrastructure. Rails, as well as rolling stock components of railways, such as wheel sets, wheels and axles, are subject to a high level of dynamic stress. Continuous inspections during the production process and during the operational lifetime are critical in order to meet quality and safety standards, increase operating time, and, more importantly, to detect potential damage as early as possible. ROSEN’s inspection solutions detect internal and surface cracks in rolling stock components and rails – at manufacturing facilities and in maintenance shops alike.

After-Sales & Services
Due to the intensive use of nondestructive testing systems under the harsh production conditions in steel mills, pipe mills and workshops, they are subjected to heavy stresses. For this reason, it is imperative that these testing systems are regularly maintained and serviced.
Experienced ROSEN technicians and engineers support these systems from engineering and manufacturing through commissioning to end of life or modernization with service, maintenance, repair and upgrades. Our service includes:
- Calibration according to DIN EN ISO 22232 or DIN EN ISO 18563, respectively
- Probes and sensors
- Remote servicing
- Maintenance contracts
- Repair services
- Software updates
- Spare-parts security due to high degree of in-house production
- Spare-parts stocking according to agreement
- Laboratory tests, simulations, feasibility studies
- Prototype construction of sensors, probes and test mechanics
- Application-specific special services
- Revamping solutions
- Automation
Our clients benefit from certainty in their production processes as well as increased productivity and reduced operating costs because we provide:
Individual Turnkey Solutions From a Full-Service Provider With Great In-House Production Depth
