Development of Assisted Software for TOFD Testing

Abstract:

The detection of flaws is essential as the defects of pipes and containers affect the safe operation of many kinds of equipment. During the industrial production process, it is usually use the ray method to detect the flaws which has radiant effect on the testing personnel. The ultrasonic time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) is a new type acoustic detection method and it is relatively safe for users. When using the TOFD technique, the selection of the probe separation is the important parameter which related to the effect of the test and the coverage range of the probe identifies the effective range of the detection. In this paper, the probe separation distance and the probe coverage range procedures which can help the testing personnel set the parameters quickly is devised. The experimental results indicate that this algorit
