Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for non-destructive testing of pipes for surface defects according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Non-destructive methods for testing metallic pipes for surface defects such as: As the ultrasonic test, have long been known and proven.
  • the ultrasound test is used to monitor the production in particular compliance with the required wall thickness of the pipe to check and any existing discontinuities in the pipe wall, such.
  • ultrasonic pulses in the wall are excited according to the pulse echo method starting from the tube outer surface and the signals reflected by the tube inner surface are received again. From the time of the signal and from the speed of sound in the material to be tested, the thickness of the pipe wall can be calculated. This process is usually used in production-accompanying and automated manner for both magnetizing and non-magnetizable pipe materials.
  • a disadvantage of this method is that especially for errors on the inside of the pipe, such. B. bumps, the occasionally very flat and run out, these are very difficult or impossible to detect by means of the previously known in the ultrasound technique evaluation.
  • the US signals are reflected by scattering in different directions. As a result, they are not or no longer completely received by the probe, so that an error signal is not or not stands out clearly from the noise floor of the signals and thus escapes detection.
  • wavelet transformation For the separation of noise and information components of signals in industrial process monitoring, it is generally known, for example from DE 102 25 344 A1, to use the wavelet transformation for the evaluation of temporal signals.
  • wavelet transformation an extension of the Fourier transform, the original signal is projected onto wavelet basis functions, which represents a mapping from the time domain to the time-frequency domain.
  • wavelet functions which are localized in the time and frequency domain, are derived from a single prototype wavelet, the so-called parent function, by dilation and translation.
  • the aim is to use the wavelet transformation to significantly reduce the noise level in comparison to the error signal.
  • the known method generally discloses the advantageous use of the wavelet noise suppression algorithms in industrial process monitoring.
  • it is indispensable to perform the analysis of the signals from the non-destructive testing virtually in real time, in order to be able to carry out the analysis errors that may occur have an immediate influence on the production flow (eg assignment of the fault by marking the pipe section or stop the production).
  • no information is given in DE 102 25 344 A1.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a safe and cost-effective method and apparatus for non-destructive testing of pipes by means of ultrasound, with the help of the wavelet transformation real-time detection and evaluation of the data in relation to surface defects of the pipe is possible.
  • this object is achieved in that the near-real-time acquisition and evaluation of the signals takes place with the following steps:
  • the time t1 is set so that the signal reflected from the other surface side with the expected error signal within the Time interval [t1 to t2] is, directly supplying the waveform for performing the wavelet transformation to a digital processing unit, optionally digital forwarding and evaluating the filtered signals to a higher-level data processing system or evaluation of the filtered signals on the digital processing unit, - A -
  • the near-real-time detection and evaluation of ultrasound signals is represented in the signal curve shown in FIG. 1 for an array consisting of any number of sensors.
  • the probe electronics of the ultrasonic probe generates an analog continuous signal per channel, which z. B. includes the back wall echoes. Due to the nature of ultrasound technology, this signal has very high-frequency components. In addition to the ultrasound signals, a trigger signal is generated which represents the pulse repetition rate.
  • a signal curve with k data points is generated with a fast A / D converter of the sampling rate f.
  • the time t1 is set so that the backwall echo with the expected error signal lies within the interval [t1 t2].
  • This waveform is directly the wavelet signal separation of a digital processing unit, advantageously a digital signal processor (DSP) supplied.
  • DSP digital signal processor
  • the filtered signals are passed digitally to a higher-level system, or the filtered signals are further evaluated on the DSP and, if necessary, an error signal is triggered.
  • the filtered signals are again converted by a D / A filter and fed to an existing system in this case.
  • FIG. 2 shows by way of example a measurement signal of an ultrasonic test for internal defects of a pipe on the basis of a graph.
  • the upper part of the graph shows a waveform of an electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor (EMUS) with 1024 data points, in which the amplitude of the signal over time is plotted. Characterized in the waveform is the back wall echo of the tube and a resulting from a rolling error signal tube inside.
  • EMUS electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor

Abstract

L'invention vise à permettre de détecter et d'évaluer des données en temps réel, par transformation par ondelettes. A cet effet, il est prévu les étapes suivantes: produire un signal continu analogique, qui contient les échos de fond; produire un signal de déclenchement, en plus des signaux ultrasonores; convertir le signal analogique en une allure de signal numérique dans une fenêtre temporelle t1 à t2 avec k points de données avec un temps ajustable t1 après une impulsion de déclenchement, le temps t1 étant ajusté de sorte que le signal réfléchi par l'autre face superficielle se trouve dans l'intervalle-temps [t1 à t2], avec le signal d'erreur attendu; acheminer directement l'allure du signal pour effectuer la transformation par ondelettes jusqu'à une unité de calcul numérique; optionnellement, faire suivre par voie numérique les signaux filtrés jusqu'à un système de traitement de données supérieur et les évaluer ou évaluer les signaux filtrés sur l'unité de calcul numérique; comparer la valeur d'appréciation avec une valeur de référence, un signal d'erreur obtenu pouvant être alloué de manière univoque au défaut situé à la surface du tuyau.
