Ultrasonic phased array inspection of electrofusion joints in polyethylene pipes
The use of plastic as a pipe material for the transport of gas and water has increased over the last few years, attributed to the significant advantages of this material such as corrosion resistance, strengthto-weight ratio, lightness, flexibility and cost. Consequently, these pipes have a long predicted service life. One of the pipes’ joining processes is electrofusion welding. As for all kind...
متن کاملUltrasonic Phased Array Examination of Butt Fusion Joints of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Pipe
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) piping has been used in place of steel alloys in the petrochemical, power, and mining industries due to its exceptional resistance to corrosion and erosion. Recently, HDPE has also been used for nuclear safety-related cooling water applications. The application of nuclear quality assurance requirements creates reasonable assurance that the production fusion join...
متن کاملUltrasonic Phased Array Examination of Butt-fusion Joints in High-density Polyethylene
With the increasing use of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) piping for nuclear applications, nondestructive evaluation is an important tool for evaluation of the integrity in fused joints. This paper will discuss the method of using Ultrasonic Phased Array for inspecting Butt-Fusion (BF) joints in HDPE piping. The benefit of Phased Array is the ability to perform a volumetric inspection using m...
متن کاملUltrasonic guide wave inspection of fillet joints with bend
The paper presentsan ultrasonic guided wave methodology for inspection of a fillet joint with a bend.Owing to the complex shape of the geometry, it is not amenable for conventional techniques. The methodology developed utilizes through-transmission ultrasonic testing. Two 90Δ angle beam (surface wave) ultrasonic transducers of central frequency 2.25 MHz, acting as a transmitter and a receiver a...
متن کاملGroundwork for Rail Flaw Detection Using Ultrasonic Phased Array Inspection
An apparent increase in the detectability of certain flaws results when the ultrasonic inspection beam was oriented off the longitudinal axis of railroad rail. Here, artificial reflectors were used to better define the extent of material "seen" by inspection beams, and determine how surface curvature might affect the inspection. Presumably, such information could be useful for suggesting optimu...
