The Realization of Portable Ultrasonic TOFD Imaging and Detecting System

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper introduced the design of a portable ultrasonic TOFD imaging and detecting system, and developed the hardware and application software based on embedded system. We accomplished multi-channel ultrasonic transmission and acquisition, real time A-scan signal or TOFD image display, ultrasonic data storage and analysis of large capacity and automatic quantitative calculation of cracks in this system. This system offered rapid speed and high accuracy that could be used to locate and size cracks in both weld joint detection and field structure examination.
