A new ultrasonic inspection system for non-destructive examination of precision tubes

  • 1. Danish Atomic Energy Commission, Risoe. Research Establishment

Description

In the automatic inspection system of precision tubes, such as those used for fuel encapsulation in water-cooled nuclear reactors, described recently (NDT Internat.; 10:171 (1977)), data (more than half a million per tube) from the ultrasonic dimension measurement and defect inspection are fed into a computer that simultaneously calculates and evaluates the results. This paper describes the development of the computer program used and discusses the advantages of computer control over normal analogue recording techniques. The overall benefits gained by using a computer controlled NDT system are outlined. (author)
