Description

PWR pressure vessels are inspected by immersion focusing transducers. A new type of transducers with a piezoelectric element in composite materials has been assessed and compared to the standard technology of transducers. The authors show, in this paper, that the use of these new transducers improve the detection and the sizing of the underclad defect
