Optimization of testing conditions for phased ultrasonic UT of welds

  • 1. Japan Power Engineering and Inspection Corp., Yokohama, Kanagawa (Japan)

Description

An ultrasonic phased array technique has many advantages over conventional ultrasonic testing method. The phased array will eventually replace conventional ultrasonic NDT methods. However, the transition to phased array has several challenges. In this paper, phased array and conventional ultrasonic angle beam technique were compared under the aspect of weld testing. The detection and length sizing results of both methods for carbon steel butt welds were equivalent. (author)
