An apparatus for x-ray inspection of a tubular member. The apparatus has a frame comprised of first and second axially spaced split side sections which can be positioned around the tubular member. There is a carousel rotatable mounted on the frame which, like the frame members, is made of split side members which can be positioned around the tubular member. There is an x-ray source and a flat panel x-ray detector mounted on the carousel at a desired circumferentially spaced distance from one another. A driver is mounted on the frame and operatively connected to the carousel to rotate the carousel relative to the frame.
