Specifically, herein described method is described as follows, Fig. 4 refer to:
The nominal wall thickness use range of SAWH steel pipes is determined, the method for the invention is not less than 20mm steel for wall thickness
Pipe.Related data is consulted, it is determined that the type the medium position of this weld seam is likely to occur the defects of, is provided by consulting relevant speciality
The defects of expecting, occurring in the middle part of SAWH steel-pipe weldings region is largely the Dangerous defects such as lack of penetration, slag inclusion, grain-boundary crack.
For drawbacks described above, herein described method selection shear wave probe, frequency is between 2.5MHz-5MHz, and K values are between 2-2.5.
The coupled modes of probe select thin water layer coupled method(Also referred to as contact method), according to ultrasonic characteristic, when coupling layer is wavelength
The integral multiple of half or it is very thin when, entrant sound effect is good, is reflected back wave height, and coupling performance is best.
The making of clamping device for detecting flaw, according to existing mechanical structure, newly-increased probe clamping device is extended, again
New probe action mechanism is made, using single probe independent operation, while the principle acted, the increase to blind area are no more than
150mm, it is alap to shorten the blind area detected a flaw manually.
The making of artificial defect, looked into according to related external data consultation and this specific aim, the defects of welding middle part
Looking for must select on the basis of the holes of Φ 1.6 in middle part manufacturing artificial defect, the application, and hole depth is the half of wall thickness.
Under determining that verification mode, specific verification mode step enter according to drawbacks described above:On the basis of the holes of Φ 1.6, defect is anti-
It is the hole wave height 100% of Φ 1.6 to penetrate equivalent, and baseline reflectance wave height is the 50% of display screen(Gate alarm height), verification position is
The wall thickness mid portion in the holes of Φ 1.6.
According to Fig. 7:Probe layout verifies the holes of top Φ 1.6, opposite side verification bottom Φ 1.6 holes, top for side
The holes of Φ 1.6 use a half reflection sound path(Reflect sound path)Verified, the holes of bottom Φ 1.6 are carried out using half reflection sound path twice
