Utility guide to advanced UT systems for PSI and ISI
Creators
Description
The number of automated UT inspection systems and techniques, currently in the marketplace or being developed, has grown in recent years to the point where a utility engineer reviewing this field is faced with a major task in trying to decide what inspection technique and system will meet his inspection requirements. Recognizing the utility engineer's problem, EPRI initiated this project to produce a utility engineer's guide to advanced, automated UT systems. Of principal concern are those that have been recently introduced, and designed for problem areas such as BWR piping. Older automated scanning systems, used primarily for pressure vessel inspection, are not being ignored, but are not covered here. Costs, benefits and inspection time are addressed for several systems in this report
