Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of weld inspection equipment, and in particular to a multi-layer pipe screen weld inspection device. Background Technology
[0002] A tube panel is a pipe structure used in boilers or other heat exchange equipment. It is usually composed of multiple welded pipes and is used to transfer heat or fluids.
[0003] There are various methods and techniques for inspecting weld seams in pipe panels, including laser vision inspection, radiographic inspection, and ultrasonic testing.
