Phased Array Scan Planning and Modeling for Weld inspectionOlympus IMS
This presentation from ECNDT 2018 reviews the following topics:
Why is scan planning required?
Basic scan plan requirements
Basic methodology—example
Complementary method to phased array
See the video presentation: http://bit.ly/1vtsaCb
Question: For precision sizing of weld flaws using OmniScan phased array inspection, which is the preferred technique: Shear wave tip diffraction or amplitude drop sizing?
Answer: The decision to use shear wave tip diffraction or amplitude drop sizing is dependent on the flaw type, size, and orientation. In general, if the flaw is larger than the beam size and is near perpendicular to the beam as is typical in side wall lack of fusion, amplitude drop sizing will produce most accurate results. If the flaw is smaller than the beam size such as a crack ligament then tip diffraction will be most accurate.

Advances in Phased Array Weld Inspection Scan Plan DesignsOlympus IMS
The compound S-scan improves on traditional phased array weld inspection scan plan strategies by combining the S-scan and E-scan inspections as defined in ASME V, Article I into a single acquisition group providing more inspection coverage of the weld volume and heat affected zone. The compound S-scan improves the range and performance of existing phased array 1D pulse-echo probes, wedges, and instrumentation via new functionality in focal law calculators that are commercially available today from Olympus and other manufacturers.
Additional benefits of the compound S-scan inspection include ability to use pre-defined configurations over a larger range of weld bevels and thicknesses, enforcement of fewer essential variables in the inspection work procedure, and a more efficient work flow for phased array inspection setup, calibration, acquisition, and data analysis IAW ASME V, Article 4, Phased Array Mandatory Appendixes IV and V.
This paper presents an overview of the compound S-scan and demonstration of its benefits including examples of weld inspection data analysis and flaw sizing.

When using ultrasonic flaw-detection equipment, it is essential that the performance characteristics are known.
Calibration should be repeatable and operator-independent, especially in situations where flaw growth is being monitored at discrete intervals. In order that changes due to wear, component temperature or other causes may not go un-noticed, the calibration measurements should be repeated at frequent intervals.
Probes, especially, must be checked before commencing and after completing critical work to ensure the validity of the entire measuring results.
Prior to the release of the ISO 19675:2017 calibration block, the techniques to calibrate and assess these performance characteristics for an ultrasonic phased array inspection were performed in a variety of ways in different parts of the world. Existing calibration blocks did not allow checks for all the necessary phased array code and standard requirements, therefore adapted blocks for calibration procedures were implemented by a select minority of expert engineers.
The ISO 19675:2017 block allows for all ultrasonic testers, worldwide, a simple and consistent tool and allows for widespread adoption of phased array ultrasonic inspections across many industries. It was also designed to allow to check probes as specified in other ISO standards.
the new ISO 19675:2017 is a flexible and simple tool for calibrating combined equipment and it offers more than the ISO 2400 block for both conventional and linear phased array setups. This calibration block will become a useful tool that is used in industry for calibration of ultrasonic inspections. The workflow structures and calibration wizards in modern portable flaw detectors have been designed for easy, repeatable calibration.
Proceq’s own developed broadband probes show greater sensitivity than traditional PZT transducers, the necessary gain to detect a 1.6 mm hole in the ISO 19675 block was over 9 dB lower, however further development of different probe types using this proprietary crystal is necessary to expand the application and usages in the field of NDT.

Inspection of Complex Geometries Using Flexible Ultrasonic Phased Array ProbesOlympus IMS
Performing high-resolution ultrasonic inspection of complex shapes with changing geometries, such as pipe elbows or aerospace composite parts, is very challenging. To inspect such components, conventional ultrasonic probes must be held perpendicular to the surface at every point of data acquisition. This process is slow and defects can be missed between acquisition points.
Ultrasonic phased array allows large areas to be rapidly scanned at high-resolution, but standard phased array probes are rigid and cannot conform to changes in component geometry. Complex geometry inspection can be improved and drastically simplified by utilizing a flexible ultrasonic phased array probe designed for high-resolution inspections.
Flexible phased array probes conform to changing surfaces or geometry allowing the elements to orient perpendicular to the surface throughout the inspection. This unique ability reduces the need for complex scan plan, increases coverage of each scan, simplifies the data interpretation, and reduces the equipment requirements to complete an inspection. Recent advances in technology have made off the shelf flexible arrays available for inspector level development using standard battery operated instruments.
This paper presents flexible phased array technology used for inspection of complex geometries on pipe elbow corrosion and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) aerospace components.

Eddy Current Array Inspection of Carbon Steel Welds with Dynamic Lift-Off Com...Olympus IMS
The use of eddy current array (ECA) technology has already been shown to increase the speed of inspections and the reliability of the surface inspection process. However, surface inspection of carbon steel welds used in pipelines and pressure vessels represents many challenges for this technology. The geometric shape of the weld crown, the paint thickness, the presence of crest and crowns, and the ferromagnetism of the carbon steel are constraints.
New tools have recently been developed to help overcome these challenges. A new orthogonal-type ECA probe based on flexible printed circuit board (PCB) technology conforms to the shape of the weld to help ensure flaw detection. Dynamic lift-off compensation and depth sizing tools were then added to a modern flaw detector, resulting in a leading-edge solution that can potentially replace Magnetic Particle Inspection for carbon steel weld inspection. With these inspection tools, users can fully benefit from the portability, imaging, data archiving, and reporting capabilities of eddy current array instruments.
In this paper, we review this new carbon weld inspection solution and present results that demonstrate the solution’s effectiveness for inspecting carbon steel welds. This presentation is technically advanced and is addressed to NDT operators and engineers.
In this article from the January 2015 World Pipelines edition, Andre Lamarre, Business Development Manager - Power Generation and Pipeline Markets at Olympus NDT, writes about trusted UT inspection methods and new technique developments used to contribute to pipeline integrity.

Camera Encoded Phased Array for Semi-Automated Inspection of Complex Composit...Innerspec Technologies
This paper introduces a new wireless solution that permits performing accurate and traceable ultrasonic scans of components with complex geometries using a hand-held scanner. The system integrates an array of 3D cameras that track the position of the hand of the inspector with a high-performance PAUT instrument to provide accurate, highresolution C-Scans on any component. This paper provides results of hand-held scans on complex composite parts,
and explores how the solution compares with traditional semi-automatic and automatic systems in terms of setup, ease-of-use, performance, productivity, and cost.
The TOFD PRO System is designed for mechanized testing of welded joints using Time-of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) technique. The System assures the solution of the following tasks - testing the welded joints of:
flat objects;
tubes of mean and large diameters (with min. outer diameter of 600 mm);
spherical and cylindrical oil and gas tanks (with min. dia of 10 m).
TOFD PRO System is implemented on the base of UsC TOFD 2.10 PRO Scanner and OKO-22M-TOFD flaw detector with special configured software.
Friction Stir Weld Inspection Application SolutionZetec Inc.
Friction Stir Weld (FSW) inspections can be challenging and time consuming. It typically requires 3 beam angles for flaws parallel to the weld center line (WCL). Standard solutions use multiple probes, and require each probe to be aligned and calibrated, which can be a long process. Some flaw types (transverse, skewed) are not reliably detected with standard probe design. Additionally, the surface condition and flashing can prevent adequate coverage of the weld area with a contact solution.
Zetec offers the optimal solution for this type of inspection challenge, delivering a reliable and efficient inspection solution
that includes rapid setup, quick calibration and fast inspection speed.
Advance NDT method are much efficient than conventional NDT methods. these methods have great amount of automation which help in understanding and comparing the data occupied by different reading.

The challenge to Megger’s engineering team was to remove the mysteries from fault locating, and to make the whole process more logical. This methodical approach was used to define a feature set that would satisfy fault location needs in the varied conditions where the tester would be used around the world.
Megger cable fault location solutions include : low voltage TDR underground cable fault locators, surge generator fault locators, cable fault pinpointing, high voltage DC test sets and high voltage (11kV-33kV-66kV-132kV) underground cable fault locators.
Boiler tube welds require a rapid volumetric inspection method. Traditionally, radiography (RT) is used, but this technology has several drawbacks. RT is insensitive to mis-oriented planar defects, it does not provide immediate feedback to the welders, and is disruptive to other activities. Mostly, safety regulations are getting more and more severe worldwide drastically restricting the use of radiography.
Benefits of 3D Visualization for High-Resolution Video MeasurementOlympus IMS
Industrial videoscopes continue to improve with advanced features like high-resolution imaging and stereo measurement. While these advancements help inspectors obtain more accurate RVI measurements, this accuracy still relies on one thing—how precisely the inspector picks their reference and measurement points.
So, how can inspectors confidently select the correct points? The answer lies in 3D modeling.

Screening for Ceramic and Leaded Contaminants in Glass Recycling Streams Usin...Olympus IMS
Screening of Ceramic and Leaded Contaminants in Glass Streams via Handheld X-Ray Fluorescence (HHXRF) Analyzers
Dillon McDowell
and Alex Thurston
Abstract
Material recovery facilities (MRFs) typically use magnetic and optical sorting systems to separate glass cullet from recycled glass. However, these systems are not effective at screening glass ceramic and leaded constituents from cullet streams. These
contaminants lower the value of glass cullet to glass manufacturers, as they represent manufacturing and safety concerns. Handheld X-ray fluorescence (HHXRF) analyzers are widely used in various recycling and manufacturing settings to quickly provide chemical composition on a variety of elements, even to the range of 1–10 ppm. We compare HHXRF analysis of prepared glass samples to laboratory assayed glass standards used by MRFs and glass manufacturers. Our results show that HHXRF can detect even small quantities (<100 ppm) of ceramic elements in glass and glass cullet streams in situ. Our results also show HHXRF detection of leaded contaminants and coloring
streams. We also demonstrate that the same technique can be applied to in-line monitoring systems to analyze material streams for the same constituents.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Phased Array Pipeline Zone Discrimination Inspection
1. Application Note
Phased Array Pipeline Zone Discrimination Inspection
Summary
The Girth Welds used to connect pipe across country or offshore for the transportation of petroleum must be
inspected during construction to ensure safe operation. In order to prevent inspection from bottlenecking the
construction process, the inspection method must be rapid, repeatable and meet applicable code requirements.
By using fully automatic zone discrimination systems deployed on and offshore, Phased Array ultrasound is
increasingly used to meet this need.
Introduction
The most common volumetric inspection methods for newly constructed pipeline are radiography and ultrasonic
testing. In many cases the ultrasonic method is preferred due to its inherent lack of hazards for those working
around the inspection site, the immediate availability of test results, and the ability to precisely size defects
especially in the through wall plane. Pipeline weld joints often have very narrow bevel angles making traditional

is never received back to the probe for detection.
2. Typical Advantages of Ultrasound/Phased Array vs. Radiography:
‡ High probability of detection (POD) especially for cracks and lack of fusion
‡ Accurate sizing of defects height and less repair using Engineers Critical Assessment
‡ No radiation, hazard, or additional licensing
‡ No screened off areas, work can go on around AUT
‡ No chemical or waste material
‡ Real-time analysis for instant evaluation and feedback to welder
‡ Setup and inspection reports in electronic format
Solution
The PipeWIZARD inspection system is a phased array based fully automatic inspection system for pipeline
girth welds. It usually consists of phased array and Time of Flight Diffraction (Tofd) probes to provide rapid full
volumetric inspection of these welds. The main components include an acquisition unit and motor controller, a
computer, and the scanner. The instrumentation is sealed and ruggedized to withstand the often harsh conditions
of the areas where pipelines are installed.

The zone discrimination technique entails splitting the welded joint into small zones (typically 1-3mm) and using
a pitch and catch technique focusing a single ultrasonic beam into each one of these zones. By using separate
groups of phased array elements the historical need for cumbersome multi-probe systems consisting of many
conventional transducers is eliminated and the bevel can be inspected at the proper angle of incidence. Tofd
and phased array sector scans in addition to transverse probes can be added as needed for the inspection. After
the joint design is input into the software, the PipeWIZARD software calculates each beams position emission
and reception and other properties which then can be adjusted on a suitable calibration block accordingly. The
main data output is a strip chart, one strip for each beam or zone. Color coding and other tools allow for quick
assessment of detected anomalies to acceptance criteria levels. The scan speed can reach up to 100 mm /
second, depending on pipe details and inspection parameters. Along with length of defect the height is accurately
calculated for fracture mechanics or engineers’ critical assessment criteria which can often reduce defect rate
versus workmanship criteria found when used with other techniques.

4. PipeWIZARD Key Points
‡ Highly reliable, compact and modular
‡ User-friendly advanced software with intuitive interface (fast setup creation, rapid and accurate analysis, and
easy training)
‡ Sectorial and E-Scan views are available in addition to standard strip-charts and TOFD
‡ High accuracy in defect height sizing: between 0.5mm (20 mil) and 1.0mm (40 mil)

‡ PipeWIZARD is suitable for onshore and offshore inspections and code compliant
‡ PipeWIZARD can be used in the vicinity of other processes and personnel and has no radiation safety or
chemical hazards
Conclusion
The PipeWIZARD zone discrimination systems allows for a rapid and accurate volumetric inspection of pipeline
girth welds both onshore and offshore. The phased array approach eliminates the need for cumbersom mechanics
found in old multi-probe conventional systems and also offers distinct advantages over radiography inspection
including safety, ability to work in vicinity of other personnel, and accurate through wall height sizing.
