Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pipeline detection, in particular to an integrated welded pipe end phase control flaw detector. Background Art
[0002] Pipeline inspection is to use equipment to make systematic and intuitive inspection and judgment on a series of indicators such as aging, degree of damage, internal blockage, rust damage, internal structure analysis, etc. on the inner and outer walls of the pipeline. Inspection is usually carried out through a pipeline detector. The pipeline detector is an instrument used for internal and external inspection of pipelines. The inspection objects are usually various types of pipelines: such as municipal pipelines, petrochemical transportation pipelines, water supply pipes, industrial and mining infrastructure pipelines, industrial transportation and storage pipelines, built-in pipelines in living buildings, air conditioning exhaust ventilation pipes, etc.
[0003] The test results are mainly based on: image photos, video recordings, waveform data analysis, other professional electronic test report documents, etc. It is an essential equipment for municipal engineering, communication construction, water supply companies, surveying and mapping institutes, various pipe network testing institutions, infrastructure construction, auto repair and aviation manufacturing, light industry enterprises, food production enterprises, energy and chemical industry, nuclear energy and solar energy and other units.
[0004] The pipeline flaw detector is a commonly used pipeline inspection instrument, which is mainly used to monitor and determine whether the welds on the inner wall of the pipeline are damaged, and to detect cracks or defects inside metal materials or components.
[0005] Commonly used flaw detection methods include: X-ray flaw detection, ultrasonic flaw detection, magnetic particle flaw detection, penetrant flaw detection, eddy current flaw detection, gamma ray flaw detection, etc. Physical flaw detection is non-destructive flaw detection without chemical changes.
[0006] Among them, the portable ultrasonic weld defect detector is a commonly used physical flaw detection pipeline flaw detector, which can quickly, conveniently, non-destructively and accurately detect, locate, evaluate and diagnose various defects (cracks, inclusions, pores, incomplete penetration, lack of fusion, etc.) inside the workpiece.
[0007] It is used in both laboratories and on-site inspections. It is widely used in weld inspection in boiler and pressure vessel manufacturing, weld quality assessment in engineering machinery manufacturing, steel and metallurgy, steel structure manufacturing, shipbuilding, oil and gas equipment manufacturing and other fields that require defect detection and quality control.
[0008] Scope of NDT inspection:
[0009] 1. Inspection of weld surface defects. Inspect weld surface cracks, incomplete penetration, weld leakage and other welding quality.
[0010] 2. Inner cavity inspection: Check for surface cracks, peeling, wire drawing, scratches, pits, protrusions, spots, corrosion and other defects.
[0011] 3. Status inspection: After certain products (such as worm gear pumps, engines, etc.) are put into operation, endoscopy inspection is performed according to the items specified in the technical requirements.
[0012] 4. Assembly inspection. When required and needed, use the Yatai Optoelectronics Industrial Video Endoscope to inspect the assembly quality; after the assembly or a certain process is completed, check whether the assembly position of each component meets the requirements of the drawing or technical conditions; whether there are assembly defects.
[0013] 5. Check for excess material. Check for residual debris, foreign matter and other excess material in the inner cavity of the product.
[0014] Ultrasonic flaw detection is a method of inspecting defects in parts by using the characteristic that ultrasound can penetrate deep into metal materials and reflect at the edge of the interface when entering from one section to another. When the ultrasonic beam passes from the surface of the part through the probe into the metal, it generates reflected waves when encountering defects and the bottom of the part, forming pulse waveforms on the fluorescent screen. The location and size of the defects are determined based on these pulse waveforms.
[0015] Ultrasonic flaw detection has the advantages of higher flaw detection sensitivity, shorter cycle, lower cost, more flexibility, higher efficiency, and harmlessness to human body compared with X-ray flaw detection. The disadvantages are that the working surface must be smooth, experienced inspectors must be required to identify the types of defects, and there is no intuitiveness of defects; ultrasonic flaw detection is suitable for the inspection of thicker parts.
[0016] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a welded pipe flaw detector that can be applied to different pipe diameters and different planes. Utility Model Content
