Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a nondestructive testing device, in particular to a straight long weld X-ray DR testing device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the shipbuilding industry and advancements in welding technology, X-ray inspection of ship welds faces increasing opportunities and challenges. During shipbuilding welding, steel plates are often spliced ​​and welded together into ultra-large plates, with widths of up to 30 meters. This often results in defects such as porosity and slag inclusions in the welds, severely impacting the strength and sealing of the ship's hull. To understand and assess the quality of ship welds, non-destructive testing (NDT) is often employed, allowing for the implementation of corrective measures. Traditional NDT methods, such as filming, are cumbersome and require numerous filming and exposure cycles for each 30-meter weld. This labor-intensive process leads to high labor intensity, low efficiency, and high inspection costs. This situation, in terms of inspection efficiency, cost, and visibility, is unable to meet the demands of today's rapidly evolving welding technology, necessitating the urgent need for a more automated, digital technology.
