The invention discloses an
ultrasonic detection method for defects at the middle parts of
welding seams of an extra-large wall thickness SAWH steel
pipe and relates to the technical field of ultrasonic flaw detection devices or methods. The
ultrasonic detection method comprises the following steps: manufacturing artificial defects on the upper sides and the lower sides of the
welding seams; respectively clamping one
ultrasonic detection probe on the outer wall of a steel
pipe on each of the left sides and the right sides of the
welding seams, adjusting the distances from the probes to an upper side vertical hole or a lower side vertical hole well, slightly adjusting the probes and finding out defect reflection highest
waves through an ultrasonic flaw
detector; calibrating the ultrasonic flaw
detector according to the reflection highest
waves; detecting the welding seams of the steel
pipe in batches by using the calibrated ultrasonic flaw
detector. With the adoption of the method, the possibility of missing detection of defects in the middle region of the welding seams can be effectively reduced, the detection completeness of the steel
pipe welding seams is improved, the missing detection probability of welding seams is reduced and the ex factory
pass rate of the steel pipe is guaranteed, so that the product quality is improved.
