Ultrasonic testing uses high frequency sound waves to examine materials and detect discontinuities. It can be used to test castings, forgings, welds and composites. Basic principles involve generating and transmitting sound waves into a material and analyzing reflections to determine features and thickness. Common techniques include pulse-echo, through transmission, normal beam and angle beam testing using contact or immersion coupling of transducers.
This document discusses phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) technology. It begins with an introduction to the company, Magnum, which provides both conventional x-ray and advanced technologies like PAUT. It then explains that PAUT allows the direction and focus of ultrasound beams to be changed electronically using arrays of transducer elements and delay laws. Examples are given of how PAUT can be used to detect weld flaws like porosity, slag inclusions, cracks, incomplete penetration, and incomplete fusion. The document also outlines the process for certification in phased array testing.
The document describes various visual indications that may appear on radiographic images of welds, including irregular densities, darker spots, lines, and changes in density. It also provides information on different radiographic testing methods, such as single wall single image, double wall single image, and double wall double image techniques. Acceptance criteria and standards for radiography from ASME and API are also mentioned.
The document provides acceptance criteria for various types of defects found during radiographic testing of welds based on different codes and standards including API 1104, SP-1174, B31.3, and ASME Section IX.

Spiralock is a self-locking female thread form that uses a 30 degree wedge ramp at the thread root. This wedge ramp allows a bolt to spin freely until clamp load is applied, at which point the bolt threads are drawn tightly against the ramp creating continuous spiral contact. Benefits include faster assembly, reduced operator fatigue, reuseability, and resistance to vibration loosening. Testing has shown Spiralock distributes stress over all engaged threads and can withstand higher radial loads compared to standard threads.
Radiography uses X-rays or gamma rays to penetrate materials, with denser areas absorbing more radiation and appearing darker on the recording film. The part is placed between the radiation source and film, and the film's darkness varies according to how much radiation reaches it through different thicknesses and densities within the part, revealing internal features and defects.

1) Ultrasonic testing techniques include pulse echo, through transmission, and transmission with reflection. Pulse echo uses a single probe to send and receive sound to detect defect depth and orientation. Through transmission uses probes on opposite sides to detect defects but not location. Transmission with reflection can locate defects.
2) The sound beam has a near zone where intensity varies and a far zone with exponential decay. The near zone length depends on probe frequency and diameter, with higher frequency and larger diameter increasing length.
3) Beam spread is smaller with higher frequency and larger diameter probes. Compression waves have a smaller beam spread than shear waves. Snell's law and critical angles determine how sound refracts between materials
The document discusses ultrasonic testing (UT), which uses high frequency sound waves to detect surface and internal flaws in materials. It describes the basic principles of UT, including how sound waves propagate through materials and are reflected by discontinuities.

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing in lieu of RadiographyMike Belcher
Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) offers several advantages over conventional ultrasonic testing for pipeline inspection. It uses multi-element transducer arrays to provide increased beam steering and focusing capabilities. This allows for accurate multi-dimensional sizing of defects and generation of ultrasonic images of welds in various 2D orientations. PAUT inspection is more efficient and cost-effective compared to conventional UT, while providing higher quality ultrasonic data and images that can facilitate engineering critical assessments and fracture mechanics acceptance criteria. Its use is gaining acceptance in pipeline codes and standards due to benefits like increased production, improved safety by eliminating ionizing radiation, and potential for lower repair rates.
This document discusses ultrasonic testing techniques. It describes different methods for sound generation including hammers, magnetostrictive, and piezoelectric techniques. It then focuses on piezoelectric probes, explaining how they work using polarized crystal materials like lead zirconate titanate. Different probe designs are described for compression and shear waves. Factors that determine probe frequency like crystal thickness are also covered. Finally, automated inspection techniques are briefly outlined.
Welding is a process that joins metals by heating them to melting point and allowing them to merge together. There are two main types: plastic welding applies pressure and fusion welding fully melts the materials. Oxy-fuel welding uses a heated gas flame, such as oxy-acetylene, to melt the metals. It is inexpensive but has a lower temperature than other methods. The equipment includes welding torches, cylinders of gas, regulators to control pressure, and filler rods. Precise flame adjustment is required to protect the metal and achieve the necessary temperature.
This document discusses the benefits and applications of phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) weld inspection. It describes how PAUT uses multiple independently controlled transducer elements to focus and steer ultrasound beams, providing improved detection, characterization and sizing of weld defects compared to conventional UT. Key benefits outlined include 30% improved probability of detection, 40% improved sizing precision, 20% faster inspections, real-time results, and expanded inspection capabilities with fewer limitations and hazards compared to radiography. PAUT is increasingly used for inspections in power, chemical, aerospace and other industries.
Eddy current testing (ECT) uses electromagnetic induction to detect flaws in conductive materials. It works by inducing eddy currents in a test material using a coil producing an alternating magnetic field. Any discontinuities in the material like cracks will disrupt the eddy current flow and can be detected. ECT is used for applications like conducting inspections of heat exchanger tubes and aircraft components to detect cracks, measuring material thickness, and identifying material properties. It offers benefits like being able to inspect complex shapes and detect surface-breaking flaws with portable equipment and minimal part preparation.
The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. Researchers analyzed data from dozens of countries and found that lockdowns led to an average decline of nearly 30% in nitrogen dioxide levels over cities. However, they also observed that this improvement was temporary and air pollution rebounded once lockdown restrictions began lifting. Overall, the study highlights how human activities are a major driver of air pollution but also that systemic changes are needed for long-term air quality improvements.

Ultrasonic testing involves three key concepts:
1. Sensitivity refers to the ability of the system to detect the smallest specified defect at the maximum testing range, which depends on factors like the probe, flaw detector, material properties, and signal-to-noise ratio. Methods to set sensitivity include using the smallest defect, back wall echo, and artificial defects.
2. Sizing defects involves techniques like the 6dB drop method where the probe is moved until the echo is half the original height, or the maximum amplitude method for irregular defects where the probe is moved to find the peak signal.
3. Techniques like equalization and 20dB drop also help size defects by observing the echo levels and drop-off
Asthma is a chronic lung disease that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways. It is more common in boys than girls and is a leading cause of school absences. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing. While it often develops before age 5, many children will outgrow asthma.
